History
Roman was the ruler of the Atlantean city of Neuport. During World War II, he fought against Hitler's forces. On a mission, he teamed up with Glory and SuperPatriot to take down a death camp. When they arrived, Glory was horrified. A man there, Gunnar Weber, was a scientist who was being threatened into helping "Nazi Frankenstein" Franz Bauer's experiments for the life of Weber's child. Even after freeing the camp, Bauer's usefulness spared him from being brought to trial.[1] Roman eventually joined the Allies with Supreme, SuperPatriot, Diehard and Glory. He was responsible for the induction of Battlestone in the team. Roman left the Allies when his relationship with SuperPatriot deteriorated too much.[2] After that, he returned to Neuport to lead his people.

Roman was forced to return to the surface world when Warlok tried to take control of his city with technology.[3] In the surface world, he asked his former protégé Battlestone for help.[2]

Later, he rejoined the Allies to rescue a group of heroes kidnapped in the sixties by the evil Optilux.[citation needed]Attributes
