Backlash
Marc Slayton was born in Atlantis about three thousand years ago, the son of a human mother and Lord S'ylton, an enhanced Kherubim lord of the alien colony Atlantis.
When his father sacrifices his life to imprison one-time allies the D'rahn, a race of hostile aliens whose attack leads to the sinking of Atlantis, young Marc is spirited away by Ferrian, his father's former advisor.
Ferrian raises the child to adulthood, tutoring him in fighting skills for his protection.
Once Marc is old enough to look after himself, Ferrian drops out of sight and leaves him to fend for himself.
Marc spends the next three thousand years travelling around the world, living a life of adventure. He has only fragmented memories of his long life.
At one point he is a ninja, at another he is a medieval knight. In World War II, he is recruited for a mission as an intelligence specialist for Team Zero.
No rank is seen until the 1960s when he is an Air Force Colonel, working as part of the extraterrestrial threats squad Team One.
Later he joins Team 7, a special ops unit which is deliberately exposed to a mutagenic chemical called the Gen-Factor.
All of the members develop superhuman powers—in Marc's case some of these are the result of his alien heritage being fully activated.
Team 7 finish their final mission and then go AWOL, but Marc makes a deal with their boss, brokering his (and John Lynch's and Michael Cray's) services in return for the rest of the squad and their families being left alone.
Backlash is then assigned to join and spy on StormWatch, the U.N.'s crisis-intervention superteam.
He works as the group's field leader and instructor until he loses several members of the first team (later dubbed Stormwatch Prime) during a mission in Kuwait.
After this tragedy he switches to being the full-time instructor.
When a Daemonite called S'ryn puts Marc's girlfriend Major Diane LaSalle into a coma, he deserts StormWatch to track her down, breaking Cabal agent Taboo out of prison to help him on his quest.
While he eventually catches his prey and revives Diane, he and Taboo become lovers, and both become fugitives.
Subsequent to this, Marc discovers he had fathered twin children—a girl named Jodi Morinaka and a boy known only as Aries—by an old girlfriend from Japan.
He learns of Jodi when she tracks him down after her mother's death.
Like her father, Jodi's alien genes give her superhuman powers, and she takes the identity of Crimson so she can adventure with him.
Backlash and Taboo arrange a pardon for their crimes in return for working for the United States' Department of Paranormal Science Investigations (PSI).
Taboo's initial approach by the government results in a multi-super-powers fight throughout the house as several of the FBI agents lose their cool and employ violence.
"Backlash" #21. In the same issue, Marc is dealing with emotions over Ares, he has recently learned not only that he has a son, but Ares is a cold-blooded, brain-washed assassin.
Marc makes friends with the animal-faced adventurer Dingo, who helps him out on more than one case.
It is around this point Marc finally learns of his Kherubim ancestry—for reasons best known to himself, Ferrian had never told Marc.
Marc is placed in charge of forming a team of superpowered operatives codenamed Wildcore for Department PSI.
Around this time Marc battles several of Dingo's associates, a race of animal-people that call themselves The Kindred.
