Early Life[edit | hide]
Reno Rosetti was born in Metropolis[2] and later joined the military, becoming a lieutenant as well as the right-hand man of General Sam Lane.[3]
Working with Superman[edit | hide]
As of 2020, Rosetti was working closely with Superman. He later assisted both Lane and Superman during the detection of an unknown automation and "The Stranger"'s attack on the DOD.[3]
Rosetti quickly recovered from the injuries and returned to work, with Lane telling him to prepare Project 7734.[4]
Eradication[edit | hide]
Days later, Rosetti was exposed to X-Kryptonite and was controlled by a Kryptonian consciousness through Eradication.[1]
Rosetti soon monitored the interrogation of John Henry Irons with Lane and Jason Trask.[1]
While bringing Irons to his cell, Trask requested a moment alone with Irons and Rosetti used his superhuman strength to murder Trask. Rosetti quickly brought Irons to the Project 7734 laboratory and used the Synthetic Kryptonite Gas on Superman while wearing a mask. Superman immediately removed Rosetti's mask to weaken him while Irons used a Kryptonite Spear to impale Rosetti.[1]
