Biography

Origin

Tom Strong was a male human born as the son of Dr. Sinclair Strong and Susan Strong after his parents were stranded on the island of Attabar Teru in 1899. He spent his childhood largely inside of a high-gravity chamber, making him much stronger and faster than the average human beings. His parents, scientists, raised him as a child prodigy; this and the frequent ingestion of a special local root have made him nearly perfect in all aspects. (Tom Strong v1 #1)

Post-Flashpoint

Following the Flashpoint, a new version of the Multiverse was created with a new history of events. After discovering the Dark Multiverse, Tom decided to travel to it and fix the worlds that were made of the nightmares of people. Instead he found an ancient world-eating titan, who had been transformed into the undead by the energies of the Dark Multiverse. He paralyzed it by using a device to broadcast a signal that could warn others but had been unable to complete the message he wanted to broadcast. (The Terrifics Annual v1 #1) Metamorpho, Mr. Terrific and Plastic Man who landed in the Dark Multiverse through a portal Simon Stagg had opened, they found Tom's message but also disabled the antenna broadcasting his signal, thus awakening the giant. (The Terrifics v1 #1) Doc Dread who had been scheming against The Terrifics since the beginning, decided to kill Tom to avoid The Terrifics from succeeding in what they were after. (The Terrifics v1 #6) Mr. Terrific tracked down Tom's dimension but found Dread had already abducted him. (The Terrifics v1 #7)

Overview

Personality and attributes

Powers and abilities

From birth, he became subject of his fathers experiments in making him the perfect human being. He went through progressive schooling and a vegetarian diet whilst he was raised by pure reason far away from the influence of society. Part of this also involved him raised in a chamber that put him on five times higher gravity. (Tom Strong v1 #1)
