HistoryEdit

Origin

Jeff Kessler was the son of Jillian and Arthur Kessler. He came from a triplet cell that never split. Due to his huge size, his mother died giving birth to him.[2] Jeff's family was hugely dysfunctional, with his father blaming him for his mother's death and a brother who suffered from Muscular Dystrophy.[3]

1992

Using the codename Brahma, Jeff Kessler was a member of Youngblood's International Task Force alongside Combat, Cougar, Psi-Fire, Riptide and Sentinel. On March, 1992, one of their missions involved the execution of terrorist Hassan Kussein, leader of a group called the Holy Unification. Brahma failed to take the mission seriously, swatting away the enemy soldiers and considering them flies, and he was knocked out by an energy field that disrupted synapses. Psi-Fire ended up completing the mission without him.[1]

A week later, Brahma and the International Task Force were tasked with with visiting a G.A.T.E. International laboratory in Germany to transport a sleeping super-soldier named Jonathan Taylor Prophet to America. Accidentally, Youngblood awakened Prophet, right when Prophet's enemies, the Disciples of Doom, assaulted the laboratory, alongside another band of heroes named the Berzerkers.[4] The Disciples proved to be too many, and knocked Brahma out.[5] When he recovered, he discovered the Youngblood Home Team had arrived to provide support, but the Disciples had been joined by their master, Darkthornn, who brainwashed Youngblood Home Team member Bedrock into fighting for his side. Teaming up with Berzerker members Wildmane and Grey, Brahma was able to knock sense into Bedrock again, but he was immediately taken out by Darkthornn. The mission was once again completed by Psi-Fire, who overpowered Darkthornn and forced him to retreat back to his home planet D'khay.[6]

1993

In 1993, Brahma, Cougar, Photon, Riptide and Sentinel were sent to Antarctica to investigate a CIA monitoring station that had mysteriously gone offline. They found it ruined, with the staff missing, when they were attacked by a group of large barbarians. Youngblood followed the men through a tunnel that led them to Arcadia, an alternate Earth. Youngblood let themselves be captured to find the missing CIA agents, and they were led before Arcadia's ruler, Tyrax, who intended to execute them. Youngblood were rescued by the appearance of a group of rebels, led by Kanan, who helped them get the missing CIA agents and escape back to Earth right before the mystical portal closed.[7]
