Cosmo Mann was a scientist who investigated cosmic rays and managed to use them to power his inventions. He then decided to use those inventions to fight crime. Cosmo enlisted the help of Archivald "Archy" Stenson, his lab assistant, and Joan, Archy's sister. Mann formed an alliance with other mystery men to form the cabal known as The Vanguard.
