An officer in the Sagitari alongside her husband, Dax, Enaj-Baron lived 1000 cycles ago, during the Kandor-Argo City civil war that had plunged Krpton to near decimation. She did her best to raise their daughter in a time of war and bloodshed, however, she was always fearful for her family's wellbeing.
When her husband was chosen to partake in a special project that was said to turn him into a super-soldier, Enaj had reservations about the safety of the experiment. Nevertheless, she stood by his decision, making him promise that he would come home to both her and their daughter when he had won the war and brought peace to Krypton.
Saying her final goodbye to Dax, she continued to do her bit for the war effort, unaware that Wedna-El and Van-Zod were destroying her husband one little piece at a time, till there was nothing left of him by the time of her return and the end of the war.
Telling the scientists the tidings of peace decreed by Jo-Mon, Enaj asked to see to husband so they could be reunited as a family once more. When Wedna refused her polite request turned into a demand, holding the two scientists at gunpoint and threatening to shoot them if they did not comply. Unmoved by El's attempts to placate her and the fact that he may be required to serve in future conflicts should this tentative peace fail to last, she went to his containment unit expecting to see her husband. However, she was terrified by Dax's heavily mutated and monstrous appearance.
Sickened by what the scientists had done to him, she fled the laboratory distraught, leaving Dax alone with his tormentors. This final rejection pushed him over the edge, leading to the behemoth breaking free from the unit and going on a rampage across Krypton; no longer Dax-Baron, only a sentient weapon of mass destruction dubbed Doomsday.
