Marshal Kirovan Kafka watched as the Global Peace Agency arrived to stop his country from going to war. The war was prevented but an innocent village was destroyed. Out for revenge, Kafka became a militant outlaw whose actions branded him as an enemy of the Global Peace Agency. He planned to use an organic transien metal to upset the balance of power with an act of terrorism. After an attack on his compund by Batman and OMAC, Kafka was well aware of OMAC and openly hated him. When OMAC was to deliver the killing blow with a laser ray, Batman intervened and the ray destroyed the compound.
Kafka was doused and bonded with the organic metal and survived the explosion. He renamed himself Shrapnel and vowed to kill OMAC. Shrapnel fires scales from his body in projected bursts that collect energy and relays it back to him. In essence, he can't lose any body mass when he shoots rounds of bursts. Shrapnel quickly made his way to the Global Peace Agency headquarters and wrecked havoc. Shrapnel then set off a nuclear meltdown at a local power plant. The meltdown would destroy the Agency, OMAC, and give him even more power in the process. OMAC realized defense makes the best offense and materialized a shield and took all of Shrapnel's blows. After exerting all his strength, Shrapnel was weakened and knocked unconscious. OMAC then secured him with a bent metal girder for the authorities.
