A corrupted computer disk turned to evil and named itself Overload. Obsessed with destroying all organic lifeforms, it surfaced at a Cook's Electronics store in Jump City. The Teen Titans used ingenuity to beat it: water to weaken it and a rug to ground it. While being transported to prison, Overload escaped and possessed the T-Car. Cyborg accepted what he had to do and destroyed his own creation. Overload was confiscated and imprisoned in cellblock nine with Plasmus and Cinderblock.

Months later, the trio was freed by Terra and implanted with neural remotes. Now under the mental suggestion of Slade, Overload attacked Raven but was defeated with water again. Soon after, Overload, Plasmus, and Cinderblock were merged into one being named Ternion. In the aftermath, Slade was killed, Terra was turned to stone, and Ternion was split back into the three original villains.

Years later, Overload was recruited to join the Brotherhood of Evil. Months later, it attacked Lightning while Steamroller and Instigator captured Thunder. With both heroes in custody, Overload and the others returned to the Brotherhood's Paris base. Later in the final battle, Lightning absorbed Overload's power and let Mas y Menos freeze the disk containing its program.
