Having developed an elixir that allows him to safely absorb and utilize atomic energy, Ace Hart operated from a laboratory which has a device for sensing when and where people are in danger, so that he could race to their rescue. For a little time he partnered himself with Jessie King, who gained the power of flight from Ace's elixir. Later he went to work for the Department of Space Defence under the command of the Director General, and picked up a new partner, Val Venture.
