Biography
Sheldon Sampson
When Sheldon Sampson was a young man, he lost everything he had in the stock market crash and it was shortly after this event in his life, that he first began having visions of the Island. So profound were these visions that talked his best friends and his brother, Walter into abandoning their lives and joining him on the journey to find the Island. Finally, Sheldon was able to locate the Island, off the coast of Africa, and chartered a ship to go there. At first the ship's captain did not want to, because he knew those waters well and there was no island in that area. However, Sheldon eventually persuaded him to take him and his six friends to that location. A short time later, as the ship approached the Island, the entire crew was amazed as they witnessed an island appear where none had ever been before. When they landed, Sheldon led them all, friends and crew, up the side of the mountain to the entrance to the doorway to the place where they would receive and learn about their powers. This doorway as it happens, lead to another dimension where aliens were waiting for them to arrive. Sometime later after they departed the Island, Sheldon, Grace Kennedy, George, Richie, Fitz and Walter formed the Union of Justice. Whatever happened to the members of the crew have yet to be revealed.
When the dust settles, Sheldon tells Brandon that his actions reflect on the family. Brandon argues that he had to make a choice, it was either his father or Blackstar; especially since the enemy killed his friends; he asks Sheldon if he would have done the same if it was him or Blackstar. Although heavily hurt by the truth, Sheldon avoids the question and instead states how one day he will be gone and Brandon will be the new Utopian. He firmly says that when it happens all the evil in the world will come after him for revenge and that the only thing they have left is the Code to give them purpose, and that it must be obeyed without question even at the cost of their own lives. Brandon retorts for his father to say that to his fellow superheroes who died for nothing, and Sheldon angrily states that there is always a way to win without killing. Unable to accept their disagreements, with Sheldon telling his son to stay at the farm while things calm down.
