Geo-Force (Modern Age)

## Summary

**Geo-Force** is a fictional superhero appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. **Brion Markov** is the former Prince of Markovia and the half-brother to the deceased Terra of the Teen Titans. Markov was the second in line as a prince of the eastern European country of Markovia, which lies between France and Belgium. However, the young prince's life would dramatically change when Markovia was invaded by the forces of the war-monger Baron Bedlam. Brion's father, King Viktor, was killed in this conflict, and Brion's older brother, Gregor, ascended the throne of Markovia. In an attempt to repel Bedlam and save his country, Brion was instilled with his powers by the scientific discoveries of Dr. Helga Jace. Dr. Jace originally intended to give superpowers to both Brion and Gregor, but Gregor openly scoffed at Dr. Jace's research. During the invasion, Brion also encountered the costumed adventurers Batman, Metamorpho, Black Lightning, Katana, and Halo and eventually decided to travel to America to learn how to use his powers under the tutelage of the Batman in the creation of The Outsider, which he later became the leader of until its disbandment. Geo-Force first appeared in a special insert in *The Brave and the Bold* #200 in July 1983, but became a regular in *Batman and the Outsiders* in August 1983. The character was created by Mike W. Barr and Jim Aparo.

## Explanations

Geo-Force is more powerful the closer he is to the Earth. Grounded and at full power, he has demonstrated country level devastation. However, his normal power levels rank in the small nuclear territory.

Also, unlike many DC superheroes, Geo-Force does not have a Pre-Crisis version of himself. Despite the character first appearing in *Batman and the Outsiders*, published in 1983, the comic line continued publication into the Post-Crisis world of New Earth, which was set up after the events of *Crisis on Infinite Earths*. All the stories concerning The Outsiders from Pre-Crisis continuity were made canon in Post-Crisis continuity.
