History

The Fortisquians are an alien race created by the Beyonders for the purpose of spreading life throughout the universe. They seeded life on other planets including Arcturus IV in their own solar system as well as other places throughout the universe. They periodically monitored their colonies in ships disguised as comets. The Caretakers of Arcturus are the genetic specialists among the Fortisquians, dispatched by the Beyonders to save Savage Land when it was imperilled by a conflict between the Deviants, Atlantis, and Celestials.

Stephen Beckley became Comet Man when he was seemingly killed while investigating what he thought was a comet, which in fact was a Fortisquian ship. The Fortisquians reconstructed him as Comet Man.
