History

Matthew Bland is the President-for-life of the African nation of Buredunia. Bland hired Deathstroke to ensure that Congressman Hasgrove was re-elected, because Hasgrove was preventing U.S. intervention between Matthew and rebels in his country. After getting Deathstroke to change into the Ikon Suit, Bland gained possession of Slade's old Promethium armor, and re-fashioned it into his own.
