Real Name: Garin Greer

Background: As a young man, Garin Greer was injured in a terrible accident that cost him the use of his legs. But he had an active, inquisitive mind and grew up to be an archaeologist. He had many academic adventures in exotic locations, in spite of his disability. In a remote section of the Rockies, he came across evidence of a long-ago alien invasion, including a dormant alien symbiote that merged with his body, giving him superhuman powers. He eventually joined the superteam Sierra Force.

However, unknown to him, the symbiote was actually a minion of the malevolent alien D'Harque, who planned to return to Earth and finish the job they began eons ago. The symbiote began to infiltrate Garin's mind, eventually warping him to an evil path, and he turned on his teammates and friends.
