John Fox was born in 1947, in the Florida Everglades, to a Seminole father and a half Italian/half German mother. His mother died during childbirth and his father suffered from alcoholism, so he was raised by his grandfather. At the age of 17, his grandfather was murdered and Johnny in revenge killed the murderer with his own hands. A judge commuted his sentence in exchange for serving in Vietnam. A year later he is drafted into the US Army Special Forces and became part of a unit commanded by Colonel Napoleon Moresby. Moresby's team was codenamed Z-Team and consisted of four men (plus Moresby). The four of them were given experimental Z-Compound to awaken their latent powers and that is how Johnny got his special abilities. During one of their missions the team is ambushed and taken prisoner by the Vietcong. Fox manages to escape from the prison camp with Colonel Moresby, but the rest of the team perishes.
Fox returns to action until the Fall of Saigon, then returns to the US and lives as a drifter until a run-in with the authorities brings him back into contact with Moresby, who recruits him as a secret agent. On his first mission, rescuing American prisoners held in Vietnam, John pairs up with South Vietnamese agent Madam Zero, with whom he establishes an intermittent but long-term romantic relationship.
POWERS & WEAPONS
In addition to being an incredible fighter (both with his fists and with a knife), John was extremely agile and athletic, a skilled tracker and marksman (especially with a bow and arrow), an expert in stealth, and a great horseman. Compound Z gave him the power to turn invisible (except for his eyes, which glow with a faint ghostly glow) and increased his healing factor to superhuman levels.
