A 37th century criminal nicknamed Tyrannus and his army of acolytes traveled through time to infiltrate and take over the White House in 1941, intending to join the Axis powers and thus dominate planet Earth. In the future, scientist Allan Bruce developed the Chronopticon, a machine that allowed him to detect the chronal anomaly caused by Tyrannus. It was obvious that someone had to travel (in fact, that someone already did it...) to the past to prevent a divergent timeline from forming. Space Patrol Lieutenant Jon Gorden volunteered and, armed with a shadow projector, was sent to the past by the Chronopticon. Something unespected hapened and Jon's body was bombarded by tremendous chronal energies.
The destiny smiled at him and, instead of being annihilated, he was transformed into a more evolved type of human, similar to Wonder Man (Bud Par). Jon infiltrated the White House, posing as an agent of the counterintelligence division of the United States Department of State, seeking to unmask Tyrannus and his henchmen before they delivered their coup. Sondra Rider, the adventurous daughter of a congressman, discovered Jon's secret by chance and offered to help him.
Jon gave her the shadow projector and Sondra became the Phantom Fox. Jon wore the colors of the American flag and a helmet that hid his face and called himself the Super-American. Together they stopped Tyrannus' plot and later, knowing there was no information about Sondra after 1941, he offered her to return with him to the 37th century, which Miss Rider gladly accepted, because she had fallen in love with Jon almost as madly as Jon had fallen for her. They both joined the Inter-Space Justice Syndicate and shortly thereafter got married.
POWERS & WEAPONS
Jon possesses the same powers as Bud Par (Wonder Boy / Man): superhuman strength, superhuman senses, invulnerability, super speed, and a set of psychic abilities such as telekinesis (which he uses to fly primarily), cryokinesis (the ability to reduce the movement of atoms to reduce the temperature), pyrokinesis (the ability to increase the movement of atoms to increase the temperature) or psychometry.
