Andrew Bryant was a young research scientist who worked for the Pacific Electrical Corporation. In desperate attempt to prove that his work had value to the company, he took a chance and crossed gamma and infrared rays. The experiment blew up in his face, but he survived and, as he quickly discovered, getting bombarded by the resulting radiation gave him superpowers. He used these abilities to fight crime with the help of his girlfriend, Detective Grace Adams (of the Agatha Detective Agency). His enemies included Dr. Bio and his Spider-men, the Black Dragon Society, and Dr. Holanza.
