Golden Age Origin Edit

Captain Dexter Ames was the commander of the Earth ship Discoverer. Doctor Phillips served as his second in command. The crew also included Cheif Engineer Morgan, Chief Gunner Hatch and at least 20 others. The crew traveled through both space and time, and several of them were "wiped" from the corrected/new Time-Stream after killing their own ancestors.

Dexter Ames was a wise and cunning leader who could speak Latin. Ames and his men were armed with ray guns and armor.
