Steppenwolf has many bastard sons, and Rublon was one of them.
History
His father procured him a job in Apokolips' Protectorate, and his over-confidence in his unearned advantage was his undoing.
Female Furies
As a male on Apokolips, Rublon has an assumed authority that does not withstand close scrutiny. His fighting skills and tactical assessment were poor. When Aurelie and Big Barda captured a runaway girl; and the hard work was done, Rublon stepped in and flouted his familial authority to claim the girl; offering to lessen her torture in exchange for a kiss. Rublon's assumption that she would be his plaything enraged Aurelie; who had been recently traumatized at the hands of Willik. She cut Rublon's throat in one quick move, and he was dead.[1]
His body was buried on a passing comet and thought forgotten. Willik saw Rublon's murder and disposal, and used the knowledge to blackmail Aurelie into his bedchamber. Eventually Rublon's body fell back to Apokolips, and Himon was blamed, and his daughter killed by Aurelie in misguided attempt at revenge.[2]
Later Willik tried to similarly blackmail Barda, but she went to Darkseid and confessed rather than submit. For her prowess and pride, she was promoted rather than punished.[3]
In death, Rublon played a bigger part on Apokolips than in life.
