Phillip Karnowsky is the criminal known as Barrage. He uses a high-tech suit of armor to commit his crimes.

History

He lost his right arm during a fight with Maggie Sawyer. Originally incarcerated in Stryker's Island, Barrage was able to escape and get revenge on Sawyer after demanding favors from his fellow prisoners. Equipped with better armor that came with shock absorption, Barrage attacked the Special Crimes Unit and Maggie in a public square, but Superman managed to intervene and brought him to justice.

Barrage later escaped again and joined the Superman Revenge Squad only to be captured again by Superman upon the group's defeat.
