Origin[]
Genetically engineered on his homeworld to battle the alien conquerors the Viltrimites, Allen was born with fantastic strength. Still not strong enough to challenge the Viltrimites, he became the Champion Evaluation Officer for the intergalactic organization The Coalition of Planets with the job to test the strengths of the champion of each planet.
Biography[]
Youth[]
Allen was born in a breeding camp for his people, the alien race known as Unopans. As his species was nearly exterminated by the conquering spacefaring race known as the Viltrimites, Allen was bred to be the strongest possible member of his race capable of standing toe-to-toe with the extremely powerful aliens. However, despite this, Allen still wasn't strong enough to defeat the powerful Viltrimites, causing his race to give up on similar breeding This left Allen as the only successful recipient and his might put him in a position as "evaluation officer" of the Coalition of Planets an intergalactic organization of governments.
This job often involved him traveling to planets to challenge their champion to see whether they were fit to defend themselves against outside threats. During this time he was assigned to test the planet Urath but due to some confusion spent every three years challenging Earth's champion, Omni-Man. Allen was also completely unaware that Omni-Man was in fact a Viltrumite himself who was planning to conquer the Earth as it's "protector".
