Biography
Allen was the name given to a member of the Unopan race where he was the result of genetic engineering in creating a super-powered member of their kind capable of fighting the Viltrumites.
His homeworld of Unopa was invaded by the Viltrumite empire who came to conquer it in a matter of days. However, the ever resourceful Unopans managed to escape for a new life in the stars. To ensure their survival, their civilisation came to establish breeding camps on various outposts. Offspring were produced in a factory environment which resulted in a complete breakdown of family structure and social behaviour in Unopan society. Afterwards, the Coalition of Planets came to be impressed at the Unopans ability to survive and invited them to join their interstellar alliance. It was then that a plan was brought before the High Council of Elders where a method of genetic enhancements would be used to create a new breed of Unopan that would be used to help withstand the Viltrumite invasion. For years, the Unopan government experimented on unborn fetuses but the results were deemed a complete failure until they eventually produced Allen. He came to be the first and only subject to survive the tests without disfigurement or mental handicap. (Invincible v1 #23)
