HISTORY 

Little is known of the being known as the Elder. He is supposed to be the last of a very ancient race, one of the first civilizations in the universe to reach the stars and that they shared his wisdom with countless worlds in thousands of galaxies. But that was countless eons ago... The Elder traveled the universe in his spaceship, The Pyramid, in search of a destination that only he seemed to know, until in the 37th century he encountered a badly damaged and adrift spaceship. Inside the ship were the bodies of the Morgans and their, still alive, son. The Elder placed the baby under his tutelage, revealed the secrets of the universe and trained him, until the lad reached adulthood. That day he imbued him with enormous powers and sent him to fight evil in the universe as Lash Lightning. Since then nothing more has been heard of this elusive and mysterious being... 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

The Elder possessed such vast and advanced knowledge that to less evolved beings it was indistinguishable from magic. He was also the custodian of the Amulet of Annihilation, the most dangerous and devastating weapon created by his race. A heavy weight to carry on... The Elder traveled in a space ark, the Pyramid, which kept inside all the secrets and knowledge of his people.

HISTORY 

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.
