History: Clay Carter was a college student when the American Embassy in Tehran was seized and its occupants taken hostage. Spurred by his loathing for this action against the United States, he looked for some way whereby he could serve his country. Amazingly, he was seemingly visited by the spirit of the ancient Roman god of war, Mars. Mars imbued Carter with powers that were derived from the planets. Armed with these newfound abilities, Carter assumed the guise of Man of War. Whether or not this visit actually occurred has never been established. Clay Carter swears to this day that it is the truth, and as a result of the incident, he has become an amateur astronomer in order to study the planets from which his powers supposedly derive. He fought his cyborg brother, Fracas. Once thought dead after following his brother into the service and being listed as KIA, he was rebuilt by the Kill Corps to serve the government with super powers. The battled his brother in Cuba and became somewhat disillusioned with his country.

History: While exploring an isolated region of northern Canada, Prof. Richard Pearson stumbled upon a hidden valley in which rested a lost city. The inhabitants were a race of giants, and only one of them survived. Pro. Pearson 'adopted' the giant youth, who stood 12 feet tall, and brought him to the United States. A colleague of Pearson's, Dr. Francis Hilldale attempted an experiment that would shrink that giant to normal size. As the result of that experiment, Scott Pearson found that he could alter his size at will, whether growing to a height of 20 feet or shrinking to the size of a doll. The last surviving member of a lost race, he is in many ways a true 'alien'. Yet of all the Protectors, he bears the greatest love for his adopted home country
