Dr. Max Hunter was a leading researcher in the field of meteorological studies with extensive knowledge of chemistry, and Professor Ivan Raschekov was a Russian scientist specializing in radioactive wave lengths... in 1925, a meteor fell just outside of what will be the future military base known as Area 51 in new Mexico. Detecting a powerful unknown phenomenon, Dr. hunter and Professor Raschekov were called in by the U.S. government to investigate and research the strange mineral and it's effects.. while testing that meteor, Dr. hunter discovered that an uncanny radiation was emanating from the rock..
A special military lab was established and during a trial testing of the mineral, an accidental explosion occurred and the meteor with all it's radiation exploded.. Dr. hunter and Professor Raschekov were caught in the middle and exposed to untold amounts of the unknown element and energy.. the result left Dr. hunter in a coma for several years..while Professor Raschekov was left seemingly unharmed, though with amnesia and subsequently returned to his native home in Russia.
Once Dr. hunter regained consciousness, he discovered his body was invulnerable and that he possessed amazing abilities, such as super speed, Super Strength, flight and telekinetic and psionic abilities.. Dr. Hunter hid this fact for a number of years, secretly helping others in need as a shadowy good Samaritan. It wasn't until he was caught in the air raid attack at pearl harbor that Max Hunter blew his cover assisting the US military against the onslaught of the Japanese suicide planes. The Government having realized this posed a great opportunity for them, decided to study Max Hunter and train him for combat believing they had the perfect deterrent to the increasingly hostile events happening in Europe. donning a symbolic and patriotic uniform and deciding to hide his identity, Dr. Hunter became the first Super Hero ....code named the Sovereign!
Today, Sovereign is the oldest and most experienced superhero on the planet, being a silent member of the Guardian Legion. he is one of a few men on Earth who has ever been known to "single handedly" defeat the Mega powerful, Star Superion. This fact was due to his initial encounter back in 1925. That night after the explosion, it later was revealed the mineral they were studying was actually a casing protecting the Source Orb, a powerful device used by the Varnon alien scientist Teh Zeeb to create the Star Superion. The Source Orb was originally created by the ancient and long dead aliens known as the Kalosian War-Masters, to fuel their ultimate weapon the lost and mythical Legend Armor!
When Star Superion was infected with a radiation sickness that caused him to succumb to uncontrollable rage.... which was reversed, once Sovereign eventually knocked him out with their battle raging eventually into outer space...during that brawl, the resulting shock wave of their colossal fight took out a new crater on the moon!
The Sovereign possesses the ability to somehow dampen the energy field around Star Superion and in effect weaken his absorption of power, enough to best him in hand to hand combat. This ability seems to be less prevalent but a small part of the powers of the Komissar, the future incarnation of Ivan Raschekov. He too gained immense powers from his encounter with the source orb, but his powers developed differently. Raschekov was also turned into a symbol of his countries patriotism, and eventually became a rival of the Sovereign on the world stage after World War II, during the height of the cold war.
Teh Zeeb had been alerted to the Source Orb's existence in New Mexico, and upon finding the lab decimated, he brought Max and Ivan to a sheltered area on the base, and removed the memory of his presence from their minds, while repairing the breach to the Source Orb's containment field and thus cutting off the wild energies that had emerged. The Source Orb's power is dimensionally linked to the singularity at the center of the super massive black hole that bounds our galaxy together. It's power is limitless, and it's cosmic quantum radiation effects are unknown.
Though aging extremely slow, the Sovereign is still a powerful force for good, but generally remains as a back up and mentor to the Guardian Legion members, specifically to Star Superion as his protege'. Most of the Sovereign's time is taken up by covert operations directed by the C.I.A.'s Special Division-6.
The Sovereign's weakness is not known specifically, though he seems to be vulnerable to Magic spells, Magical weaponry, and telepathic attacks.
