Gleeman Vox, also known as Mr. Vox or simply Vox, was a Slademan, and the founder and owner of Vox Industries, the Vox Network and several other business ventures within the lawless Shadow Sector. One of his most notable achievements was DreadZone, (being its leader, president and producer all in one) an illegal combat sport that pitted heroes across the universe against one another for adoration of trillions of fans. Cold, sadistic and obsessed with earning bolts and high ratings; the only other thing he cared about was his pet, Slugha, whom copied Vox's personality traits.
