Painkiller debuted in Black Lightning, Vol. 2 #2 (March 1995), written by Tony Isabella and illustrated by Eddie Newell. The character dies just two issues later in Black Lightning, Vol. 2 #4 (May 1995).

Painkiller, a high-level mob enforcer, is hired by the Brothers Who Rule to stop Black Lightning's pursuit of them. Painkiller sets a trap for Black Lightning as well as the cops, a crack house full of teenagers, where he plans to kill Black Lightning and force the cops to open fire on the teenagers. However, Black Lightning's powers provide a level of protection from Painkiller's abilities and Black Lightning is able to prevent the massacre before battling with Painkiller, a battle that ultimately kills the latter.

As a metahuman, Painkiller exhibits superhuman strength and can induce anesthetization on any part of the human body, thus dulling the senses of his victims. He is also a skilled fighter and has knives on the ends of his dreadlocks which he uses as additional weapons.

Painkiller has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
