Viceroy

Real Name: John Mackey
Background: As an infant, John Mackey was kidnapped from Earth by the alien Karnak Empire, subjected to experimentation on his genetic structure, and raised as one of their warriors. His indomitable spirit endeared him to the Karnak Emperor and Mackey was granted the rank of Viceroy, or Imperial Governor, of the sector of space that included Earth.
Later, he rebelled against the Karnak ways of conquest and returned to the planet of his birth to defend her. He has battled many foes in his time and become one of the greatest of Earth's heroes, but his mercurial temper and uncompromising attitude often are a hindrance to his friends and allies.
He later left Earth to lead a group of galactic heroes known as the Liberators.
Viceroy is the direct ancestor of the 31st century hero Ventura.
Group Affiliation: Former member of the Sentries; former member of the Furies; current leader of the Liberators.
