Tom Corbet was a member of the French Foreign Legion who was ordered by his cruel lieutenant to cross the unforgiving desert. After that, his troop was to attack the savage Mbangi tribe. One tough journey later, Corbet is the only survivor of the trip, the rest having died of thirst and heat. He's about to suffer the same fate as his comrades when he finds a strange pool covered with glowing vapours. He drinks from the pool and instantly gains powers and a costume. He uses his powers to kill an attacking tiger and stop a would-be world dictator, then goes on to fight crime and the Nazis. He has "neonic" powers which include glowing, being able to fly, and shooting bolts of energy from his hands.

Corbet drank the glowing water and was transformed into Neon the Unknown, with the ability to fly and shoot energy from his hands. On December 7, 1941, Neon was recruited by Uncle Sam to be a member of the Freedom Fighters, along with several other heroes, and defend Pearl Harbor from the Japanese attack. Uncle Sam, Miss America, Hourman, Invisible Hood, Magno, Red Torpedo, and Neon the Unknown fought valiantly and all but Uncle Sam were thought to have died. Since then, all of the heroes who "died" in the attack have been revealed as alive, except for Magno. | Neon is revealed to be alive and has been living at his magical oasis. He is not helpful when asked by Lanford Terrill to aid in saving his son. This leads to Terrill drinking the water himself and becoming the new "Neon".
