Young Freddy Freeman was a normal lad until he and his grandpa faced a power mad Nazi during a fishing trip. As a result of this tragic confrontation, he ended up losing his beloved relative and was now physically limp for life and near dead!
Johnny Mann was a world traveler stumbling on a war torn area, and became an innocent victim during a confrontation with a power mad warrior whom Mann crossed. This led to Johnny losing a leg and faith in humanity!
And then, each were noticed by prominent powerful legends who made sure that each "Man" was given a physical form commensurate to their heroic spirits, becoming men of another kind. Gaining super-strength, flight, invulnerability and a host of abilities, this pair protected their respective worlds as Freddy's Captain Marvel Junior of Earth-S and Johnny's Son of Vulcan of Earth-Four. Each were named after their heroes who were the ones that bestowed powers upon the lads after saving their lives. Freddy became an owner of a newspaper stand while Johnny remained in his position as reporter for the Worldwide News Syndicate.
While not their worlds’ greatest hero, which was Captain Marvel and Captain Atom respectively, Freddy and Johnny’s alter egos still had notable careers. Junior’s lasted longer than Vulcan’s, given his status as a core member of the Marvel Family. Two other Captains on Earths One and Two also had similar superhuman abilities and career…
Lance Gallant and Michael Gallant were twin brothers, struck with tragedy as Michael lost his life, while Lance gained powers merging with that brother. Possessing superhuman strength, the power of flight, invulnerability and limited telepathy with one another, the Gallants as Captain Triump were members of the All-Star Squadron, and thus allies of the Superman of Earth-Two.
