Aristides Demetrios was a famed archaeologist in Greece who discovered an ancient artifact known as the golden fleece. This fabric had absorbed the superhuman abilities of fifty of history's heroes, which Aristides used in his alter ego as the Olympian, protector of Greece.
Marcus was a champion of people who in ancient history opposed to the Greek armies of legend. He was tied to an even older heritage as the latest in the long line of heroes known as Immortal Man, that would possess superhuman powers and the minds of historical champions. His more famous alter ego was the Golden Gladiator.
Aristides first appeared beside Wonder Woman when the Super Friends and heroes from around the world were deactivating deadly bombs implanted in various lands across Earth-One. He later was recruited along with other international superheroes by Doctor Mist to aid him versus the Conqueror, and later became an official member of the Global Guardians when they aided Superman on another case.
Marcus as the Golden Gladiator traveled to the 20th century where he assisted Firebrand of the All-Star Squadron and other historical heroes during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. However, his handful of adventures were in his native era as a solo adventurer.
