Bryn Hale was a laboratory assistant to Dr. Albert Blitzmann. Blitzman's second assistant, an individual named Zenith, became a test subject for the doctor's new accelerated growth formula. Blitzman's daughter, Eve, made a mistake during the experiment, and Zenith grew over 2,000 feet tall as a result. Intoxicated by the power, Zenith decided that he would become a god-king who would rule the Earth and all mankind. He threatened to destroy Urbania, the capital city of the Confederate Planets, unless the Confederate delegates knelt before him. The Space Patrol, the Confederate Planets Defense Force, engaged him and was defeated at the cost of immense property damage and loss of life. Hale replicated Zenith's accident on himself, becoming similar in size to the self-proclaimed Colossus. After a terrible battle, Bryn was victorious and became a hero of the Confederacy. He would soon join the Inter-Space Justice Syndicate. In the ranks of the Syndicate, Bryn met Myr Ah, the multiform Mirage, who would eventually become his wife.
