Biography

Kryptonian Attack

In 2013, after Black Zero made its presence known in Earth's orbit and General Dru-Zod sent a warning message to the entire world, the President of the United States declared a state of emergency across the country.

Showdown in Gotham Port

"God have mercy on us all."

―President of the United States^[src]

During the Showdown in Gotham Port, the president contacted the army to ask what was going on. Soon after, he gave permission for NASA to use nuclear armaments to kill Doomsday in orbit, at the possible cost of killing Superman as well. However, the attempt failed, resulting in giving Doomsday even more power to absorb whilst knocking Superman out of commission temporarily. Secretary Calvin Swanwick then noted that they couldn't attack, lest they make the creature more powerful. When the president asked for clarification, Swanwick emphasized that the creature was unkillable.

Equipment

• LGM-30 Minuteman Missiles with W87 nuclear warheads: As commander in chief of the United States Armed Forces, the president is capable of calling on the Air Force to launch nuclear missiles. One such missile was used during Doomsday's attack on Gotham Port, striking the monstrosity along with Superman somewhere high above Metropolis. The warheads have a 300-475 kiloton output.
