Main Article: Wendell Vaughn

Wendell Vaughn

Assigned to routine guard duty at the Stark International project studying the Quantum Bands, he watched as the Bands were field-tested by William Wesley, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top tech-jockey, who panicked when the Bands would not come off and disintegrated himself. Not an hour later, androids sent by the criminal organization A.I.M. staged a raid. Their objective: to steal the alien energy-bands. To protect them, Vaughn put them on -- and learned the fundamentals of their operation under the most hazardous possible conditions. Still, he managed to repulse the A.I.M. invasion. And ultimately, it was his lack of a killer instinct that enabled him to subdue the rampant energies he had unleashed. (Quasar v1 #1)
