### Relatives

Grace (wife, deceased), unnamed wives (likely deceased), Kate Cha (wife), Mary and Abraham (twin children)

## History

Most of the Immortal's origin is unknown, even to him. Sometime in his past over 3000 years ago, an accident happened to him that gave him his immortality and superhuman abilities. He would take up the duties of a knight possibly under King Arthur as Lancelot, an explorer under or possibly as Christopher Columbus in the Spanish Armada, fought in the American Revolution, became President of the United States by taking the alias of Abraham Lincoln, fought as a soldier in the World War I, and became a superhero in the 1930s. Sometime after becoming a superhero, he would meet Cecil Stedman and become one of the original members of the Guardians of the Globe.

### Original Guardians

The Immortal had found Bi-Plane attempted to commit suicide to infect the Denver population. Immortal grabbed him and threw him into space, killing him. He got an urgent call from the Guardians base and headed to Utah. He stated the secret code and the confused Guardians looked at him as he had called them. The Guardians are killed by Nolan Grayson and Immortal witnesses him and says "*I never liked you*". He is decapitated and Omni-Man replies that the feeling is **mutual**. The Immortal is buried along with the other Guardians. Some young men attempt to dug up his body, believing that drinking his blood will make them immortal as well. The Mauler twins stop them, taking his head to a lab. They revive him while attempting to enslave him. The beacon fails and Immortal flies out. He finds Nolan on a beach and attacks him, demanding to know why he killed the original Guardians. Nolan impales him and rips his torso in half. He would again be revived by doctors in the white room at the Pentagon. He would rejoin the Guardians of the Globe and have many adventures with them.

### Reboot

Years later, Mark touched a white light that put him back into his body at the time before he received his powers and with all of his memories. He attempted to talk to his father about not killing the Guardians of the Globe again. Nolan became angry and immediately attacked Mark. Mark led him to Utah where he tricked Nolan into smashing into the Guardians of the Globe headquarters where The Immortal and several others were located. Mark revealed Nolan's plans to the Guardians and they teamed up and subdued Nolan. During the battle, The Immortal had his heart punched out of him by Nolan. Cecil Stedmen soon arrived and agreed to bring Nolan back to the Pentagon and restrain him. The Immortal was revealed to have survived the attack.

Still later in the reboot, the Immortal and the original Guardians of the Globe take down the Lizard League. Even later, with the Teen Team, they defeat the Flaxans.

### Five Years Later

Mark returns to his timeline, but five years after the events that occurred just before the reboot. Immortal is seen teaming up with Emperor Nolan, his Viltrumites (including Thula), Robot, and Tech Jacket to stop the Technicians.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Smart Atom DNA**: Due to exposure to an unknown anomaly, the Immortal's body was enhanced well-beyond normal human limits, able to perform various superpowered feats. The Immortal is one of only three beings that has an equivalent power level to Viltrumites in terms of Smart Atom based DNA.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: The chemical bonds involved in the Immortal's muscle contractions are many thousand times stronger than those in a human. The Immortal has proven to be one of few people able to compete with Viltrumites of Omni-Man's caliber in terms of strength. He can lift (press) at least 100 tons directly overhead. The Immortal can hurl a person into orbit around the Earth or hit a Viltrumite hard enough to actually injure the alien being.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: The Immortal is made of Smart Atoms, which allow exchange of energy between quantum foam and his molecules. These strong atomic bonds allow his flesh, while soft to the touch, to withstand great impact forces, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes and falls from great heights without sustaining physical injury. It takes a superhumanly powerful blow or a direct hit from an anti-tank missile to even give him pause.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: The Immortal can mentally control the inertia of his smart atoms, allowing him to move his entire body at near-relativistic speeds through sheer force of will. His flight speed is sufficient for him to reach escape velocity within seconds, and he has proven capable of flying from Switzerland to New Zealand in less than 4 minutes.
		- **Superhuman Reflexes**: The Immortal's reflexes and perceptions are enhanced in direct proportion to his movement speed, allowing him to perform complex high-velocity maneuvers with ease. He was capable of taking Omni-Man off-guard and landed several blows on the latter before he could react.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: The Immortal's musculature produces almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity. As a result, he possesses virtually limitless stamina.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor**: Should the Immortal be injured somehow, he could regenerate any damaged or missing tissue. He can regrow organs and limbs in days. The Immortal could only die permanently through an injury that disperses a significant portion of his body's molecules.
	+ **Flight**: The Immortal is able to manipulate graviton particles around him to defy gravity and achieve fly. This ability ranges from levitation to high-speed movement in any posture or direction. The Immortal subconsciously has his smart atoms create a protective barrier during flight, protecting his clothing and any load from friction and the heat of orbital re-entry.
	+ **Immortality:** As a result of an undisclosed accident, Immortal has been rendered ageless, incapable of experiencing the natural process of aging. Despite the passage of thousands of years, his physical condition remains in its prime, unaffected by the ravages of time.
		- **Resurrection**: While still potentially able to be killed, his body does not decay, remaining perfectly preserved and even still physically healing. As long as any major parts of his body like his torso or head are reattached, he will ultimately regenerate and revive.

### Abilities

* **Military Training**: The Immortal has been involved in countless wars during his millennia-long lifespan, making him a formidable tactician and strategist with a hundred lifetimes of experience to call upon.
	+ **Hand-to-Hand Combat**
	+ **Leadership**
	+ **Tactical Analysis**

## Weaknesses

* **Vulnerability to Insanity**: Because of Immortal's inability to die, he can be vulnerable to insanity. This is shown when he begins killing people in hope that someone will finally kill him. Through the many years, he would grow detached from the human race.
* **Dismemberment:** If Immortal's heart and brain are disconnected from one another, his healing factor will be indefinitely stalled and will require outside intervention to recover from.
