Acroyear was a super-hero in the Marvel Universe and the leader of the Micronauts.

Biography

Acroyear was born to be the crown prince of the Acroyear people that live on the planet Spartak in the Microverse, a subatomic universe within our own.  On the day of his birth, The Herald Comet flew over Spartak, which people took as a signal of the birth of the planet's new ruler.  Later, it was revealed that the comet in question was in fact the Micronauts member Time Traveler.  As a youth he has fallen in love with the woman Megale, only to be denied by his father, who had arranged for him to marry the Lady Cilicia.  Neither were in favor of the union, but both Cilicia and Acroyear accepted that it would be for the good of the planet.  Though Acroyear was meant to rule, the planet was under the thrall of Baron Karza, who used Acroyear's treacherous brother Shaitan to brainwash the people of his world.

Eventually, Acroyear decided that for the good of the Microverse, he needed to defeat Karza and he needed to sacrifice the Worldmind to do it, which made Spartak incapable of supporting life.  After this event, Acroyear was branded a traitor by his own people, cast out and replaced as regent by his bond mate (a position similar to wife) Lady Cilicia.  Vowing to redeem himself, Acroyear travelled with the Micronauts, a group of outcast superheroes travelling the Microverse.
