- The AEGIS Project - A program started at the end of World War I with the purpose of creating enhanced soldiers to better protect America. Jack Knight, was a excellent soldier and was a promising subject, but upon undergoing the process he exibited no physical changes. He passed every test, and defeated every opponent he was put up against, but it was not until he took a tank round to the chest that his powers were realized. He absorbed kinetic energy. From then on he threw himself into his work, rising in the ranks of AEGIS until eventually he was placed in charge. When the war ended he established AEGIS as a international peacekeeping force. Heroes were given jobs, villains were sent packing, or placed in secure prisons. Eventually Vanguard retired, AEGIS was shut down, and time did what time does. Then the Qularr arrived. With his neighborhood under attack, Vanguard stepped into the fray once again, perhaps for his last time. His powers had waned, tho and it wasnt looking good, he took a barrage of fire while protecting a school bus, and . . . survived, the strange Qularr energy infused his cells, repowered his aging form. No longer was he ravaged by time, he was reborn. After the invasion was thwarted, Vanguard reestablished AEGIS, attempting to bring his brand of heroing to the next generation again.
- Originally Vanguard was able to absorb kinetic energy, and use it to enhance his strength, speed, and produce force fields. After being hit by a howitzer, his body absorbed so much energy that it caused a further mutation, causing his body to become super dense.
During the Qullarr invasion he was hit by a energy cannon, while prottecting a school bus full of children, the exotic alien energies further mutated his powers, allowing to now absorb almost all energies and harness them to increas his own power. He can also sense energy, especially kinetic. Recently his body has taken on and energy like form when he absorbs too much energy.
