Oliversity is a member of a race long thought extinct called Snare Snakes. He is one of the most poisonous reptiles in the galaxy and his venom has been used to create antitoxins to combat diseases throughout his sector. However, some scientists have theorized that these antivenoms have long term harmful effects upon its recipients; an assertion Oliversity is still exploring.  He is a friend to the Green Lantern Drill Instructor Kilowog.

When the Green Lantern Corps voted to execute Sinestro, Oliversity was among the Green Lanterns who made up the firing squad that seemingly executed the rogue Lantern.
