Valeron had an advanced society and a 90% oxygen atmosphere. The planet was destroyed when Vartox became infected with an agent which caused oxygen atoms to break up. Vartox was one of only two survivors (the other being his renegated ex-love, Syreena).

Quote1 ...Thus, when my tainted molecules came in contact with Valeron's atmosphere-- The result was an instant chain reaction I was powerless to stop... With a single devastating blast, my world exploded! With a single blast, my race became extinct! My home, my friends, my memories... All of them obliterated before my horrified eyes! Because of my hyper-powers, I was the sole survivor... Ever since that catastrophic day, billions of Valeronian souls have shadowed my every waking hour! Quote2

History

Earth-One

Valeron had an advanced society and a 90% oxygen atmosphere. The planet was destroyed when Vartox became infected with an agent which caused oxygen atoms to break up. Vartox was one of only two survivors (the other being his renegated ex-love, Syreena).[1]

New Earth

In the Post-Crisis Universe, Valeron was never destroyed. The Valeronians are an advanced society but they wear 1970s-like fashion. The population was rendered sterile when space pirates detonated a Contraceptive Bomb. Vartox came to Earth to seduce Power Girl in order to repopulate Valeron. Although the two did not come to actual copulation, Vartox used part of his life-force together with Power Girl to power a "Pregno-Ray", which fertilized all male and female Valeronians.[2]
