Vyndktvx was a male member of the race of 5th Dimensional Imps and was native to the Fivefold Country of Zrfff in the 5th Dimension. Once upon an always, he came to serve in the court of King-Thing Brpxz and operated as a magician to the ruler. At this point, Brpxz had lost his wife the Queen and nothing could brighten his mood with none of Vyndktvx's various acts from his black cabinet failing. One day, a young imp by the name of Mister Mxyzptlk arrived and saw the king's mood where he promised to make him smile. Vyndktvx was noted to had sneered at the magician but Mxyzptlk managed to conjure magic that caused Brpxz to smile and feel joy. Afterwards, Mxyzptlk declared his love for the Princess Gsptlnz who reciprocated after he gave her three wishes to wear. This led to the envious one Vyndktvx becoming enraged whereupon he sought to murder Mxyzptlk. In his jealous rage, he stole three sublime weapons of the Chromo-Conflict 2 with these being the Nothingcoat, Imaginator and the million-pointed Multispear. With the Nothingcoat, Vyndktvx snuck into the king's palace in order to kill Mxyzptlk. He saw his targets shadow of his derby hat and struck with the Multispear.

On Earth, Vyndktvx made a deal with Glen Glenmorgan, shortly before Superman showed up to crash Glenmorgan's party. (Action Comics v2 #1) Vyndktvx then appears shortly afterwards to view his work, which was the derailing of a Metropolis bullet train that resulted in the incarceration of Superman by the military. Once again, Vyndktvx would appear whilst Superman aws being tortured by Lex Luthor where he was posing as a scientist before Superman broke free. Following this, Vyndktvx as not seen for some time until the adventures of the Superman of Earth-23, where he was shown to be the boss of Overcorp, a corporation in another parallel Earth. On that world, Vyndktvx was responsible for the creation of the Beast of Superman that was a terrible beast hich hunted down its versions of Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Clark Kent. The Superman of Earth-23 managed to stop it, and nothing was seen from it again. Once again, Vyndktvx appeared elsewhere as a bartender inside a hotel during the Collector of All Worlds attack where he was harassing Glenmorgan until he had a mental breakdown. (Action Comics v2 #8) Vyndktvx then appeared through a meeting with Nimrod where he hired the man to hunt down Superman and subsequently making him a member of the Anti-Superman Army after he visited him in the hospital.

(Action Comics v2 #10)

When Superman meets with his landlady, she revealed that she was in fact named Nyxlygsptlnz, a creature exactly like Vyndktvx. She explained that Vyndktvx was once a prisoner of the multicornered prison Zrfff, of which he escaped after Superman's parents died in Smallville. She said that he had hurt Mxyzptlk, killed 'The King-Thing' Brpxz and then says that he hates Superman, more than he could understand, which is why everything he's done was to hurt him. After this, Nyxly shows Superman several future visions of his encounters with Vyndktvx, including Superman traveling to Mars to save a group of astronauts from Metalek and The Multitude, a tool of Vyndktvx, and his encounter with Dr. Xa-Du. After this, Nyxly was shot dead by Nimrod before she can save Superman with a wish given to her by Mxyzptlk. (Action Comics v2 #14) At a time in the future, Vyndktvx is shown to be responsible for the creation of Kryptonite, having his army collect the engine of Superman's space ship. Inside the army's base inside a bullet actually inside Superman's brain, Vyndktvx is forced to unleash the Kryptonite after the Legion of Superheroes interferes with the army's meeting. Before he disappears, he shouts, "Give in! Kent next!". (Action Comics v2 #16)

Vyndktvx's plan came to a head roughly five years after the creation of the Justice League, when he assembled a roster of super-villains, the Anti-Superman Army, and traveled through time attacking Superman: once to steal the Green Kryptonite engine from the rocket that brought him to Earth, and once to trap Superman in a manhunt under a dying red sun in the ruins of future Metropolis. He is ultimately defeated, however, in modern Metropolis fighting Superman and his allies with his every resource, only to be banished to the Fifth Dimension and locked in the Multi-Cornered Dungeon of Zrfff for all eternity.
