Rob Morgan was the disciple of the being known as The Elder. Two decades earlier, the Ancient One's spaceship, the Pyramid, crossed paths with another ship badly damaged and adrift. Inside the ship he found the bodies of a man, a woman and also a child of a few months, still alive. The Elder raised the boy and instructed him in the mysteries of the universe. He also trained him to become an extraordinary fighter and when the boy became a man, the Elder named him Lash Lightning and gave him powers beyond mortals and sent him to fight for justice. Lash joined the Inter-Space Justice Syndicate and later, while trying to stop the diabolical Teachmaster's plans, he met the young Isobel Blake and was impressed by her courage. When the Teachmaster caught him and connected him to a device that overloaded his electrical powers, the hero was barely able to survive, being forced to share his powers with Isobel to save the day. The girl became Lightning Girl and also joined the Inter-Space Justice Syndicate. Rob married Mysta of the Moon, another member of the Syndicate.
