Earth-31916 Hyperion (Supreme Power)
Origin
Somewhere over Middle America, an elderly couple found a ship with an infant child inside. They decided to take it home with them, and look after it. Soon after, their farm house was surrounded by US government agents and helicopters. The infant and ship were taken into US custody.
After extensive tests it appeared that the baby was developing different abilities, such has impenetrable skin and strength, that only seemed to be getting stronger as the days went by. The government decided to raise the child on their own, making him the "ultimate American," with hopes of turning him into a weapon. The government assigned two agents to the child to be his parents. They would be in charge or raising and educating the boy. The undertaking was called Project: Hyperion.
After testing the space ship, it was found to be releasing small amounts of an unknown retrovirus. It would later be linked to others developing special abilities.
Hyperion of Earth-31916
As time went on, Mark Milton's powers developed at an alarming rate. He accidentally used his "flash vision" to reduce a small puppy to ashes in front of his "parents'" eyes. He could see into houses miles away. He knew he was different; and he slowly figured out he was being used by the US government. He broke ties with the government and asked to be left alone. The government panicked, and recruited a team to take down Hyperion.
After a brief battle, the group "time-jumps" and Hyperion sees the results of his actions: a world were he is the ruler. They then jump back to the present and Hyperion agrees to join the governments super army.
Powers
Hyperion possesses superhuman strength, stamina, speed and durability. His senses are also greatly enhanced, including allowing him to perceive the entire electro-magnetic spectrum. He also has atomic vision which is quite similar to heat vision.
Earth-4023 King Hyperion (Exiles)
In this reality Hyperion (Zhib Rahn) is a villainous maniac who is the ruler of his original reality.
Early History
King Hyperion hails from a world that he became the ruler of. The countries of his world were not willing to let Hyperion take over without a fight so they began a nuclear war in an attempt to kill Hyperion. Ironically, the nuclear attack killed every living being on Earth except for Hyperion. As the sole survivor of his planet, Hyperion was conscripted into Weapon X, taking the took the place of a deceased Storm. Right away Hyperion came into conflict with Weapon X's leader Gambit and became involved with Ms. Marvel. They were placed on an Earth where there were only ten mutants remained, and their assignment was to annihilate these remaining mutants. Hyperion originally intended to stay on the planet and become its new ruler, but he made the decision that the world was not going to survive and he completed the mission, murdering Colossus and Vision in the process.
The Plot Thickens...
King Hyperion
Eventually Hyperion came upon a world where he wished to remain and slaughtered all of the American heroes in New York City on that Earth. The Exiles teamed up with Weapon X's leader Gambit and took their fight to Hyperion. In the ensuing battle Morph kills Ms. Marvel, Firestar kills Spider while Hyperion killed Hulk, Firestar, and Illyana Rasputin. After decimating the Exiles team in combat, Hyperion is finally injured by Blink, using her powers to cause Hyperion to injure himself with his heat vision. This crippled Hyperion, allowing Gambit the opportunity to use Magik’s sword to destroy him. The ensuing explosion killed both Gambit and Hyperion and the Exiles made their way to another reality. However the bodies of the deceased members (including Hyperion) were teleported to the Crystal Palace where the Timebreakers had been placing the bodies of dead members of both Weapon X and the Exiles on display. Hyperion’s body was also put on display and his cells began storing solar energy allowing him to recover from his wounds. Eventually recovered of his injuries, Hyperion broke out of the crystal stasis he was being held in and took hold of the Timebreakers' operations.
King Hyperion Defeated
Taking over the Timebroker interface Hyperion had the Exiles travel to a world ruled by Zarathos. Then he sent them to Earth-2600 where Hyperion had Sabretooth join the team (replacing Heather Hudson) in an effort to make Blink second-guess herself. He then had the team go to the Age of Apocalypse where he had Holocaust join the team (replacing Beak) in an attempt to have them killed. Instead Holocaust worked with the Exiles to teleport directly to the Panoptichron where Hyperion immediately killed Holocaust by absorbing all of his essence. Hyperion managed to seriously injure Morph and Mimic and kill Namora. The Timebreakers release Blackwing from stasis concluding that he was the most likely to resolve the situation. Finding no alternative, Beak recruited two other-dimensional Hyperions from Earth-712 and Earth-5764. These two Hyperions managed to take King Hyperion down with a final moment assist by Mimic. The Exiles, the Hyperions, and the Timebreakers made the decision, since they could not kill King Hyperion, to imprison him back on his original reality where he could do no further damage.
