Origins
Snowflame first appeared in the 1988 comic book New Guardians #2 in a story titled Jungle Snow. In it, he meets the New Guardians in Colombia as the leader of a drug cartel. In their first encounter he defeats the superhero team, but is later killed by them in a chemical shed explosion.
New Justice
In Catwoman #23, Catwoman travels to South America and encounters Snowflame, whose real name is revealed to be Stefan. Snowflame reveals that he faked his death in the chemical shed explosion to take over the island of Isla Nevada. He then escorts Catwoman to his home, where he is auctioning off expensive and dangerous artifacts to other supervillains. In Catwoman #24, Catwoman sneaks into the jungle and meets Kisin, the island's mythical giant panther and god of death, before returning to do battle with Snowflame. She defeats him with the help of Kisin.
Snowflame returns in the Dawn of DC series Peacemaker Tries Hard!, in which he fights against Peacemaker. He is defeated and seemingly killed after choking on a poison dart frog that Peacemaker snuck into his cocaine.
