Animal Town
Created by Robert E. Wronski, Jr.
Biography:
Once there was a single reality, but at the dawn of time, that reality split into an infinite number of alternate realities. On each of these realities, events happened differently. On one such Earth, designated Earth-C, the world was home to anthropomorphic animals.
On Earth-C, Orange City doesn't exist, but in it's place is Animal Town. Animal Town is part of the United Species of America. The town has a mayor, Mickey Mouse, but also has a royal family, consisting of King Friday and his adopted daughter Princess Rabbit.
Mickey Mouse is a member of the Green Bowtie Corps, an intergalactic police force.
Princess Rabbit is a witch, whose magic comes from her ears. Princess Rabbit dates Brown Bear, who always solves whatever type of crisis strikes in the town, which happens at least once a month.
Professor Tornado Dog is the town's sole scientist who through an accident gained the power to become a canine twister. His adopted son, Ruffy Ruff Ruff also fell into a vat of chemicals that gave him the power to move at super speed and fly.
Later, Pac Man, heroic ghost fighter, moved to Animal Town.
Animal Town is frequently plagued by a giant serial killer named Candy.
Animal Town has had frequent visitors from parallel worlds. When they were children, Robert Wronski and Darcey Kilian often found themselves transported to Animal Town. Additionally, Powerman, during his years as Powerkid and Super-Bob, used to frequently visit the town.
In later years, the town was visited by Powerdog and Zap Dog, and in very recent years, by Powerkid (Connor Kowalski).
During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, it seemed as if the reality may have been destroyed, but it was revealed to still exist as part of hypertime, and following Infinite Crisis, was redesignated as Earth-26.
Comments:
Animal Town is based upon the stuffed animals I owned as a child. Sort of my Winnie the Pooh.

Chief Brian Spearing
Chief Brian Spearing
Created by Robert E. Wronski, Jr.
Real Name: Brian Spears
Alias: Brian Spearing
Current Occupation: Orange City Police Chief
Parents: Unknown
Siblings: Karate Spears, Charles Spearing Senior
Spouse: Paulette Spearing
Children: Charles Spearing Junior (adopted)
Group Affiliation: Orange City Police Department
Place of Birth: Earth-K
Current Place of Residence: Orange City
First Appearance: Super Comics # 23, September 1981
Biography:
Brian Spears was born on an alternate Earth where the mightiest warriors were chosen to rule the planet. His oldest brother, Karate, had become such a ruler. His other brother, Charles, was equally as bloodthirsty. Brian was odd in that he was humane and believed in justice. He couldn't stand the world he lived in. And he feared for the infant son of his brother Charles, to be brought up in this world.
Their Earth may have been more savage, but it was also more technologically advanced. Brian used a device only for use by the highest of officials to scan into alternate realities. He found an alternate Earth that seemed a utopia to him. And he witnessed a man abducting his child, escaping from a distant planet, and bringing him to Earth, where they changed their names and began new lives. (This was in fact Michael Bossman aka Robert Kowalski and his son Christopher.) This inspired Brian, who abducted Charles Junior and used their experimental teleportation device to travel to this other Earth, destroying the device behind him.
Brian changed his last name to Spearing, and claimed young Charlie to be his own child. He met and married a woman named Paulette and managed to get a job as a police officer in Orange City. (How he obtained such things as birth certificates and social security numbers is unknown, but this was in the pre-digital age.)
He turned out to be one of the best cops in the force, and within less than a decade had become the chief of police for the entire city. Meanwhile, he had moved his family to live on the same street as that family he had observed back on his homeworld. His Charlie and Christopher had become good friends and classmates. And even though Spearing knew Chris was an alien (something he kept to himself), he was not aware that Chris had become the urban legend called Super-Bob.
However, it was very shortly after Super-Bob began operating in the city and after Obie Planters had tried to blow up the city that Brian found himself meeting Super-Bob. Super-Bob wanted Chief Spearing to know that he was real and on the side of the law. He presented Spearing with a special communication device that could be used to contact Super-Bob at any time, via his super computer VIC-20. From that point on, the two had developed a close professional relationship.
In 1982, Karate Spears discovered this other Earth, but the newly built teleportation devise was not as good as the original, and the only way for Spears to travel was to switch places with someone with very similar genetics. It so happened, Charlie Spearing was the match, and was transported to Earth-K every time that Karate Spears visited Earth-B. When Karate Spears returned to his world, Charlie would be transported home.
By 1991, Spearing had become police commissioner. Two years later, the city was atomized. Millions were killed by a death ray controlled by Powerman's greatest foes. Charlie and Paulette were killed, but Brian had been in the underground armory and survived.
For 10 years the city was uninhabitable, and Spearing's activities during that time are unknown. But when the city was rebuilt in 2001, Spearing was asked back to be the police chief, which he accepted, and he continues to hold that position to this day.
Comments:
Chief Spearing was inspired by an amalgamation of two real people from my childhood. One was the father of a neighborhood friend, and the other a police officer in my home town.
Of course, the character holds the usual position required in any super-hero fiction of the one cop who can contact the hero.
However, the fact that he comes from an alternate Earth so different than ours makes him a little more unique than your average Commissioner Gordon or Inspector Henderson.

Karate Spears
Karate Spears
Created by Chuck Spears
Real Name: Karate Spears
Alias: Interstellar Ninja
Current Occupation: Mercenary
Parents: Unnamed
Siblings: Charles Spearing Senior, Brian Spearing
Spouse: None
Children: None
Group Affiliation: Powerkid Haters, Bad Guys
Place of Birth: Earth-K
Current Place of Residence: Orange City
First Appearance: Powerkid # 1, September 1982
Biography:
In an alternate reality, life on Earth had evolved differently, in a warrior culture where only the mightiest warriors ruled. In the late 20th century, Karate Spears was that warrior ruler. However, Spears grew bored with no challenges to his rule, and sought to find one elsewhere.
Despite being a very uncivilized world, they were much more technologically advanced, and Karate Spears used a device that allowed him to view alternate Earths to find a challenge. He came across the universe of Powerkid, and found Powerkid to be a worthy opponent.
To that end, he came to Orange City and found Powerkid, and began attacking him. Powerkid and Karate Spears at first seemed evenly matched, but it turned out that Powerkid began weakening because Spears was using a power draining device called Apple Crisp on the hero.
Mustering the last of his energy, Powerkid fled. Karate Spears had given Powerkid the clue on who to seek out for aid. When Spears revealed he was from another Earth, this let Powerkid know that he multiverse was real, just like in his comics. He had previously used the Forbidden Forest as a portal to travel through time and to other weird dimensions, so likely he could do so to travel to alternate Earths, and he did just that.
In the meantime, Spears gloated over his victory, and threatened to keep destroying the city until Powerkid returned to face his demise. But Spears didn't have to wait too long when both a red and a blue streak came towards him, and Spears found himself toppled over by both Powerkid and Superman!!! (Even though there was two Supermen in the Wronskiverse at this time, they operated in secret and Powerkid was not aware of their existence, thus he traveled to another reality to get their Superman.)
The two defeated the villain, who teleported back to his own world.
Humiliated, Spears had to redeem himself (especially since on his world, weakness was surely a sign that he was unfit to rule and easy to kill.) Over the next few years, Spears constantly tried to kill Powerkid and failed each time. Eventually, he became a constant foe of Zap and the Powerkid Police as well. Karate Spears eventually found it in his best interest to form a lasting alliance with Doctor Deadly, the evil ageless ruler of Death Planet. He also joined a team of Powerkid's greatest foes called the Powerkid Haters.
During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, everything changed. The wave of antimattter and the environmental damage were combining to tear Karate Spears' Earth apart, and only with the aid of Powerkid was it saved, when Powerkid actually moved the planet out of that doomed reality and into an orbit between Death Planet and Booer. Overcome by the generosity of a hero who he's tried to kill dozens of times, Spears redefined in his mind what makes a warrior, and vowed that his world, renamed Kearth, would never do harm to Powerkid or Earth ever again.
That would be Spears' undoing. One of Spears' top aids, General Leers, was able to convince the public that their leader's newfound outlook was weakness, and toppled the government and assumed control. Leers did not slay Spears, however, as Spears still had a large following, and instead locked him away in a dungeon.
Eventually Leers himself was killed and replaced by Spearon, and a decade passed with Spears locked away, until he eventually escaped and fled to Earth, where he began operating as a super-hero called the Interstellar Ninja. A few years later, a mutant named Adam took over the Earth, and aliens were all deported, including Spears. Spears recently returned to Earth, and joined a team of mercenaries that consisted of reformed super villains called the Bad Guys. He currently works this this team going around the world helping people in need.
Comments:
Karate Spears has the distinction of being the first Powerkid foe, and replaced the Lightning Kid as Powerkid's primary foe. The character was created by my then neighbor Chuck Spears. He was creatively involved in almost all Karate Spears stories from 1982 - 1985.
Ironically, as my friendship with Chuck was ending, I did the reverse for the characters. Karate Spears' final appearance was in 1985's The Crisis Within, until I brought him back in 1994 in the Powerman series. Karate Spears appeared a few times as the Interstellar Ninja between 1994 - 1995, then again stopped appearing until 2008 when he was brought back in Crisis, and is now a team member of the Bad Guys, which is published monthly.

Pretty Gal II
Pretty Gal II
Created by Robert E. Wronski, Jr.
Real Name: Sheryl Carlson
Current Occupation: Owner of her own public relations and marketing firm
Parents: Unknown
Siblings: None
Spouse: None
Children: None
Place of Birth: Arkansas
Current Place of Residence: Orange City
First Appearance: Powerman # 263 (September 2010)
Biography:
Sheryl Carlson is a mutant who has the ability to manipulate any straight male or gay female with her abilities. Sheryl's power manifests itself in several ways to create this ability. First, she emits a chemical which causes a submissive reaction in those exposed. Second, he emits radiation that causes an aura which seemingly invisible can actually be seen subliminally causing a hypnotic state. Finally, her voice emits a hidden sound that affects the brain.
Sheryl discovered this power early on and used it to get whatever she wanted. Within a matter of months after graduation, she became the most successful marketing and PR person in Orange City. However, after discovering the evils of one of her clients, Michael Bossman, and the role she played in helping him cover it up, she vowed to find a way to use her powers for good.
Taking a cue from a hero of the 1980s with a similar power, she took the name Pretty Gal, and became a hero, soon being recruited by Adam Rubinstein to join his new team, the Heroes of the People, a role she currently fills.
Comments:
All of the Heroes of the People are based on friends of mine from my time on the UMass Mock Trial team. Their fictional counterparts have mostly taken names of classic Super Comics characters from the 1980s, putting a new modern spin on them.

Hell Child
Hell Child
Created by Robert E. Wronski, Jr.
Real Name: Amy (Last Name Unrevealed)
Current Occupation: Agent of the New Power Organization
Parents: Unnamed
Siblings: Jill (Last Name Unrevealed)
Spouse: None
Children: None
Group Affiliation: Champions, Heroes of Earth, New Power Organization
Place of Birth: Somewhere in the deep South
Current Place of Residence: An undisclosed location
First Appearance: Blackbirds # 6, July 1991
Biography:
Amy was the oldest of two daughters living in the deep south. When she was 14, she began to develop mental powers. She was able to read minds, move objects with her mind, and even make people do her bidding. Her parents thought she was a witch, and kicked her out, calling her a hell child.
Amy decided to head north, towards Orange City, where people with unique abilities were celebrated as heroes. She instead ended up in Greenfield, where agents of Project: Franklin tried to abduct her because of her abilities and age, but she was rescued by the Blackbirds, a team of young heroes who were in constant conflict with Project: Franklin.
Amy was invited to join the team, and seeing the irony, chose the code name Hell Child to use for a heroic identity.
Amy's powers were rapidly growing stronger and stronger, and the power was corrupting her. In fact, one evening, when only her and War Child, the team leader, were at headquarters, Amy used her powers to rape him. Even though War Child was traumatized by the experience, he felt Amy could not be blamed for not being able to keep her powers in control, and they kept her on the team in order to help her.
A few months later, Amy's younger sister Jill showed up, having developed the same powers and also been kicked out of the house. Jill took up the identity of Devil's Daughter. Jill's powers weren't as strong as Amy's and thus did not cause the same problems.
In late 1992, it seemed that the team had been killed on Metor, but indeed they had survived and been captured by the Project, who had experimented on them. The team escaped and based on advice from Powerman, changed their name to the Champions.
In 1995, a mutant named Adam used his powers to take over the Earth. He mind controlled every metahuman on Earth to serve as his honor guard, the Heroes of Earth. However, when the spell was broken, it was discovered that some metas, like Hell Child, were willingly serving Adam's cause, believing in a world where super beings ruled. Hell Child was defeated along with Adam, and her powers were then stripped by Allorin Vonski, along with her memories of ever having powers. In fact, the whole world forget, and because of this, Amy and Jill returned home, their parents having believe the children had just ran away for a few years and were so relieved to have their normal children back.
Thirteen years later, a spell cast by the New Power Organization restored the powers and memories of all super-villains, brought dead ones back to life, and upgrades all of their powers. Amy had her powers back. She had her memories back. She was even more powerful. And she was more evil than ever.
First, she killed her parents and Jill. Then she willingly served as one of two of the New Power's top agents (the other being Powerlord). Hell Child was feared by heroes as she had no problems with killing, and liked to make sure it was going to hurt...physically and emotionally.
The New Power's scheme to reshape Earth as a world of evil failed, however, and Hell Child had to escape and go into hiding. However, not long after, she was abducted along with several other villains and heroes and transported to an alternate dimension by the Protector. They were to do battle for his amusement.
Hell Child killed the heroes Truth and Powergirl during this "secret war", and even killed her teammate Nicole Barstaman. Nicole had very similar powers as Amy. When Amy was mortally wounded, she absorbed Nicole's powers, her memories, and her life force into her, restoring her life and doubling her power. The side effect was that now there are two separate beings residing in one body, though Amy remains dominant.
When the heroes and villains returned to Earth, Hell Child returned to service for the New Power, that had rebuilt itself in her absence. She currently serves as one of the organization's number one agents.
Comments:
This character is actually inspired by one of the nicest, most innocent girls I knew in high school, based on the premise of what those types of powers could do even to the best of people.
Though I never expected when I created this character as a member of the Blackbirds that I would one day maker her one of the most dangerous villains in the Wronskiverse.

Krusher I
Krusher I
Created by Robert E. Wronski, Jr, Phil Sheridan, and Ken Maxwell
Real Name: Ken Madison
Alias: Mad Dog Madison (his high school nick name)
Current Occupation: Mercenary
Parents: Unnamed
Siblings: None
Spouse: None
Children: Olive Madison
Group Affiliation: Powerkid Haters, Seven Deadly Sins, Bad Guys
Place of Birth: Orange City
Current Place of Residence: Orange City
First Appearance: Powerkid # 25, September 1984
Biography:
Ken Madison enlisted into the Marines in 1984 at the age of 18 immediately after graduation. After Boot Camp, he ended up being assigned to an installation in Greenfield, where he had the misfortune of walking in on Colonel Peterson murdering a man. Peterson arranged for Private Madison to be framed for the murder, but then offered his charges to be erased if he took part in an experiment. The experiment was part of Project: Franklin, which was a super-soldier program.
Madison was irradiated with some mysterious energy (which may have been of alien origin). The result was that Madison gained the ability to absorb power and energy, making him stronger and invulnerable. In some cases, he could even absorb super-powers, draining the super-powered being and being able to temporarily use those powers himself. Unfortunately, the more power Madison contained, the more his mind degraded to a savage state of being.
Madison broke free and began rampaging through Greenfield on his way back to Orange City. It was in Orange City where it took the combination of Powerkid, Zap, and Speed Demon to stop Krusher, as Madison was calling himself.
However, the Super-Trio didn't use their physical powers to stop him, as that was impossible. Any powers they used were just absorbed and used against them. Powerkid, Zap, and Speed Demon had to combine their mental powers to give Madison amnesia. The government, wishing to not be linked to this, left the amnesiac alone, and Madison got a job working as a janitor at Mahar High School, where Powerkid could keep an eye on him.
A few months later, however, Ken's memories were restored by Doctor Deadly, who was putting a team together of Powerkid's greatest foes, in a plot to destroy Powerkid. The team was defeated, and Madison's mental blocks were put back in place.
In 1991, the blocks wore off, and Powerman (formerly Powerkid), Zap, and Volt-Man attempted to stop Krusher again, now rampaging in the Nevada desert. The three knew that their power wasn't effective, and even hypnotism wouldn't work any longer. Scientific genius John Barstaman devised the only solution, by creating a portal to some unknown other dimension, in which the three heroes lured the crazed villain and trapped him in.
What the heroes didn't know was this unknown dimension was actually the dark dimension of Doctor Deadly. Deadly once again recruited Krusher for a new team to capture Powerman for him.
A year later, it appeared that Krusher had been killed by Powerman, after he and his former teammates completely destroyed Orange City, killing the millions of inhabitants. However, in 2001, it was revealed the Krusher had indeed survived, due to his power, and even though in 1998 Allorin Vonski had taken away his powers and memories, they came back over time.
But in 2001, Madison had somehow managed to control his power, and his sanity, and retired. A few years later, he had a daughter, whose mother died shortly after a very slow and painful death.
In 2009, Krusher was recruited by Michael Bossman to join a team of reformed villains called the Bad Guys to perform missions around the globe where governments are unable to.
Even though Bossman himself turned out to be less than reformed, the team continued on without him.
In the year 2019, Ken's daughter Olive Madison will have inherited her father's powers to become Krusher II, a founding member of the Power Police.
Comments:
Krusher was a character co-created by myself, Phil Sheridan, and Ken Madison (who is also the inspiration) in 1984 on the playground of Butterfield School.
Despite the fact that he was considered one of Powerkid's greatest foes, he only appeared in two story arcs in 1984 then only appeared briefly in cameo in scenes at Mahar where he was an amnesiac janitor. Occasionally Chris Kowalski would worry about what would happen if Madison's memories were restored.
And indeed in 1991 when I made a major revision of the Super Universe, one of the first things I did was see what would happen if his memories returned. But again he only appeared in three major story arcs from 1991 - 1992.
He resurfaced for one story arc in 2001 which was about Chris' class reunion, bringing back many characters from the high school era including Krusher, and showing that Orange City was being rebuilt.
Since 2009, Krusher has appeared monthly as a member of the Bad Guys.
His daughter Olive Madison was first introduced in 1991 in Justice League 2019 and again in Power Police 2020 the next year.
And Kenny has been very upset that I turned his villain into a good guy. All I can say is to be patient. The future isn't what it used to be. I have plans in the works. There are alternate realities and not all of them turned out the same way. Somewhere out there, there's a really, really, really scary version of Krusher whose story has yet to be told, but is coming soon.

Place of Birth: Orange City

First Appearance: Powerkid # 25, September 1984
Biography:
Ken Madison enlisted into the Marines in 1984 at the age of 18 immediately after graduation. After Boot Camp, he ended up being assigned to an installation in Greenfield, where he had the misfortune of walking in on Colonel Peterson murdering a man. Peterson arranged for Private Madison to be framed for the murder, but then offered his charges to be erased if he took part in an experiment. The experiment was part of Project: Franklin, which was a super-soldier program.
Madison was irradiated with some mysterious energy (which may have been of alien origin). The result was that Madison gained the ability to absorb power and energy, making him stronger and invulnerable. In some cases, he could even absorb super-powers, draining the super-powered being and being able to temporarily use those powers himself. Unfortunately, the more power Madison contained, the more his mind degraded to a savage state of being.
Madison broke free and began rampaging through Greenfield on his way back to Orange City. It was in Orange City where it took the combination of Powerkid, Zap, and Speed Demon to stop Krusher, as Madison was calling himself.
However, the Super-Trio didn't use their physical powers to stop him, as that was impossible. Any powers they used were just absorbed and used against them. Powerkid, Zap, and Speed Demon had to combine their mental powers to give Madison amnesia. The government, wishing to not be linked to this, left the amnesiac alone, and Madison got a job working as a janitor at Mahar High School, where Powerkid could keep an eye on him.
A few months later, however, Ken's memories were restored by Doctor Deadly, who was putting a team together of Powerkid's greatest foes, in a plot to destroy Powerkid. The team was defeated, and Madison's mental blocks were put back in place.

Yana Oo
Yana Oo
Created by Robert E. Wronski, Jr.
Real Name: Yana Oo
Alias: Yana Oo Kowalski
Current Occupation: Vice President, Bossman Enterprises
Parents: Hwana Oo and Yana Chana
Siblings: Too numerous to list
Spouse: None
Children: Connor Kowalski (aka Powerkid)
Place of Birth: The planet Hanguk
Current Place of Residence: Orange City
First Appearance: Powerman # 82, August 1995
Biography:
Yana Oo grew up on her home world of Hanguk, a world that had been occupied by the Booers before she had even been born. She lived with a poor family with dozens of siblings.
In 1995, her whole world changed (quite literally) when Powerman arrived on her world, freeing the planet from Booer control and winning Yana's love. The two married, and were quite content on Hanguk, until Powerman received a mental distress call from his sister on Earth, which he had to respond to.
Yana chose to go with him, leaving her family and world behind. Also accompanying them were a group of adventurers whom Powerman had befriended on this world.
They arrived on Earth to find that during the three years Powerman had been away, a mutant named Adam had taken over the world, and had mental control over Earth's meta-humans.
Powerman of course defeated the villain, with the combined support of Earth's other champions. Following this, Powerman and Yana chose to leave Earth to explore space (and the multiverse) along with Powerman's friends from Hanguk and his closest Earth allies (NighTrain, Patience Glenndale, and Marvel).
For a year they settled into an alternate reality where they lived on a world where Superman had become it's greatest champion rather than Powerman (and had even survived his encounter with Doomsday.)
However, Yana became pregnant, and NighTrain and Patience had already had and were raising on their craft a three year old daughter, and so they chose to return home, and live a quiet, retired life in a world where super-heroics were no longer accepted.
The Kowalskis settled in the Pacific Northwest, and soon Connor was born. Shortly after, and for the first time, Chris Kowalski (Powerman) started suffering from the results of a strange mood disorder that would cause him to have erratic behavior (which would later be revealed to be the work of Doctor Deadly).
Yana couldn't deal with Chris' strange new behaviors, and the two divorced. Chris' mental breakdown continued to grow worse, and he left Earth to explore time, space, and alternate realities. (In fact, it seemed that the further he was from his home, the less erratic he was.)
Yana continued to raise Connor in a normal environment, though struggling with cultural differences and being technically an illegal alien. She also maintained a strong effort to have Chris' family be a part of Connor's life.
In 2007, Yana and Connor were visiting Orange City for Connor's birthday. Chris had also arrived home for the festivities, and surprisingly, Chris' father, billionaire/villain Michael Bossman also showed up, having been released and allegedly reformed. Michael began a close relationship with his grandson, though not to the liking of Chris, who didn't trust his father.
Shortly after, when the effects of Deadly's control were at it's strongest, Powerman killed the U.S. President, and Connor discovered he had the powers of Powerkid and stopped his father, who was then freed from the mental control.
Though Yana didn't like it, she agreed to allow her son to continue operating as Powerkid (because she knew he would do it anyways.)
As part of having a billionaire as a grandfather meant that suddenly, Yana has suddenly found herself with a nice monthly allowance from Bossman Enterprises which suddenly made her wealthy.
When Chris' mother became sick in 2008, Yana and Connor moved to Orange City and into the family home. Sadly, she passed away.
The next year, when Michael Bossman was revealed to still be a criminal, a clause in his corporate policies gave Chris, his sister Michelle, and Yana (as proxy for Connor) control of this mutli-billion dollar company. Since Chris was at the time in hiding (having killed the president), Michelle became President of the company, and Yana (whose legality was being handled but was still questionable) was content with the role of vice president.
Yana still operates as VP of Bossman Enterprises, worries constantly about her son, and lives in Chris' childhood home with Michelle and Connor.
Comments:
I have to be very careful with discussing the creation of evolution of this character, and the inspirations behind her. Though anyone who knows me personally will read this and know exactly who is the real person behind the fictional one.
Legally, I'm not crossing any lines with the creation and use of this character, but that wouldn't stop the person who inspired this creation from bringing me to court anyways. Good thing she never had any interest in my writing.

Colleen Hasser
Colleen Hasser
Created by Robert E. Wronski, Jr.
Real Name: Colleen Hasser
Current Occupation: Deceased, former occupation unknown
Parents: John and Elizabeth Hasser (Both deceased)
Siblings: Maureen (Hasser) Wrigley (deceased) and Pauline (Hasser) Sherman
Spouse: None
Children: Shon Crest Junior
Group Affiliation: None
Place of Birth: Worcester
Place of Death: Orange City
First Appearance: History of the Super Universe # 1, April 1985
Biography:
Colleen was one of three sisters, and the youngest of the three. In the 1960s, these three sisters were chosen by the Universal Protectors to be the mothers of Earth's future champions. Of course, the girls didn't know that.
Colleen was chosen to mother Allorin Vonski's champion. When Colleen was barely 18, she met and ran off with Shon Crest, a nearly unaging adventurer who had the ability of super-speed and super-senses, and who had been the super-heroic Speedster.
Crest died in battle with the Master, but not before he had unknowingly impregnated Colleen. Colleen named her son Shon Crest Junior, but sadly died during labor.
The wizard Allorin Vonski took the child and raised him within the Forbidden Forest, teaching him to use the abilities he inherited from his father.
Comments:
Colleen Hasser is based physically and personality wise on one of my aunts, but of course and thankfully she never died, nor did she have a relationship with a speedster, and her children (none of which are named Shon) became super-heroes.
The character of Colleen was first introduced three years after Shon Crest's debut, in History of the Super Universe, in which the idea regarding the three sisters was first introduced. The idea that the father was the original Speedster though came about years later, in 1991, in the series simply called Crest.

The Bible
In the Wronskiverse, the events of the bible, but the stories in the bible are not exactly accurate...in the Wronskiverse, a fictional universe that is not real and thus should not be taken seriously.

At the dawn of time, six cosmic beings were born, three of good, three of evil. The being who would become known as the Great Unknown joined with his good brothers to battle his evil brothers. However, they found themselves equal and chose to go their separate ways.
After billions of years, one of the Universal Protectors, who would one day be called Allorin Vonski, settled on Earth, in Africa. He helped create a paradise and invited humans to live there. He also used this as a place to hide the Universal Transponder.
When Vonski's evil brother Evil came in the form of a snake and tricked two of the humans, Adam and Eve, into helping him steal the Transponder. Vonski was able to stop this from happening, but he was so upset he banished the humans from his paradise, moved the paradise across the world to where Orange City, Massachusetts currently exists, and changed his paradise into the Forbidden Forest.
