History[]
Golden Age Origin
Martan was a young scientist from the planet Antaclea, a highly advanced world where technology rendered war, hunger and illness obsolete and gave its inhabitants extraordinary powers. One day, he decided to take his wife, Vana, to see the birth of the new planet. On their way, they passed through the Sol system, where they came under attack by the Martian raiders. While the two easily fought off the Martians, the fight slowed them down enough to give them a good look at Earth.
