Biography

The entity known as Hyperion hails from another universe entirely, where he was the leader of the heroic Squadron Supreme. In this alternate Earth, designated Earth-712, Hyperion took the civilian identity of Mark Milton. Though they openly protected the United States, Hyperion in particular believed that control ought to be demonstrated. By taking control of the U.S., so Hyperion thought, the ensuing totalitarian regime would be wholly justified because it was all for peace. That should tell you something about how Hyperion views the world. He’s a good guy, but sometimes only just.

It’s worth getting this out of the way: Hyperion basically is Marvel’s Superman. The similarities are profound. A borderline invulnerable alien being of spectacular power who takes on an alliterative civilian identity and is a founder and key member of a team meant to safeguard humanity from evil, and who wields laser vision and incredible strength as a result of exposure to the rays of Earth’s yellow sun. Really, the whole Squadron Supreme was like this for DC characters, as was the Squadron Sinister before them.

As a result, because Hyperion has only ever been canonically playable in two licensed Marvel video games--Avengers Alliance and Future Fight--I took inspiration from some of Superman’s playable appearances as well, on the grounds that the one was fashioned after the other. Major, major tip of the hat to @thefinalend for pointing me towards the inspiration for [Atomic Meteor].
