HISTORY & ORIGIN
Vance Astro is one of several extra-dimensional personas.Dr.Jonas Betterman of Earth-4216 is behind the creation of this specimen.He befriended an Avenger; Donna Bryant, otherwise known as Lady Liberty.Unable to persuade her to have an affair with him,he took his chances with her when she had become injured during a battle with villains who had escaped S.H.I.E.L.D's custody.He injected her with experimental cells that would alter the genetic make-up her offspring,should she choose to have one with her current fiancee',Vance Astrovik I (Major Victory).Unaware of this,the birth of their first child was fatal.The cells injected into Donna were too much for the newborn to handle.His mutant abilities grew so rapidly that they ended up killing him.When Donna had become pregnant a second time,she had the best doctor's under the Avengers examine her.That led to the investigation of Dr.Betterman.Their next child born was fine because the potency of the injection had decreased with the birth of the newborn's brother; however Betterman was dismissed from the presence of the Avengers for his actions.Vance Astrovik III was born homo-superior due to the mutagenic properties of his parents; however, because of the injection his powers evolved more rapidly than most homo-superior.
Vance later joined the Gauntlet's Initiative as a teen.His run through training was so incredible it was a short period before he himself was helping to train young superheroes like himself.Before graduating the program to the Avengers,his parents began to try and hold him back.They didn't want him being a superhero.They told him he was worth more than that and had other talents to offer the world.When Vance turned sixteen he abandoned the Initiative and his parents and went on to fight crime on his own as Captain V.When his father was killed in Galactic Storm his mother begged him to stop being a superhero,so he divorced her as his parent and remained at superhero status.He joined the Avengers and was adopted by Captain America and Sharon Carter.He was trained from that point by his new parents to be the best possible leader and combatant.
Vance was nearly killed on a mission and that caused his first meeting with Gaea.She had never felt a force like his.She believed that in order for the Earth to remain safe,he would need to live.She rebirthed him that day as Vance Astrovik IV.His full recovery and resurrection came with a price.Gaea commissioned Vance to slay Howard Stark.She claimed that technology in the wrong hands would be the destruction of Earth.Stark's hands were those wrong hands.Vance easily defeated Stark in combat but refused to kill him; however, Gaea allowed Vance to continue living because taking back her energy which revived him would be contradictory to her purpose of doing it in the first place.
THE SEVEN YEAR WAR
Vance Astro under the wing of Captain America led the Avengers in combat against the Hood's Gang.The War between them lasted for several years.Most of the major casualties on the side of the Hood.In this war Vance Astro earned his stripes as leader and as a warrior and orchestrated the win of the Avengers in the final battle against the Hood in Latveria.It was during this war Vance met his arch-enemy and first nemesis,Moredecai Jones,also known as the Dark Messiah.
THE RISE OF CAPTAIN V
The Assassination of President Steve Rogers (Captain America) gave way to the leadership and takeover by Vance Astro (Captain V).He built the Avengers forces to actual army size.Most members were not reserved for certain missions but sent on every one.Vance gave his team the OK to use as much force as needed or as much force as they wanted.He began signing up members like The Punisher,Wolverine,and Ares.Vigilantes who didn't know the meaning of heroism.They killed and offed criminals as if they were hunting them.Captain Carol Danvers brought these actions to Vance's attention and was imprisoned for questioning him.Vance's brother,Colt Python was annoyed by Vance's plan of revenge on villany for the death of Captain America.That day Colt was the first person to defeat Vance singlehandedly in battle.He replaced the defeated Vance in imprisonment with Carol Danvers (Ms.Marvel) at the point of rebuilding the Avengers.He dismissed several members and built a smaller team;however the team lost merit as an actual superhero team in scrutiny of Vance's actions.This later led to legal claims against them by Henry Gyrich.He claimed to the supreme court that the Avengers were unjust vigilantes who are out for blood,he also claimed that their Initiative program didn't actually train heroes but taught them to focus their powers toward murdering people who could likely be reformed as heroes or as proper citizens.

FALL OF CAPTAIN V: THE AGREEMENT
The Avengers were put under surveillance by the American government and informed by S.H.I.E.L.D that actions would be taken if they continued in their reckless behavior.Colt put together the best possible team of true heroic Avengers.Their outlook was effectively decent but things became ugly when Vance persuaded Iron Man to release him.A part of the Avengers agreement with the government is that he would never be allowed to return to active duty.For a while his presence on the team was unnoticed.He appeared as their newest Avenger,the new Captain America.In a battle to aid Wakanda in redeeming their land at the hands of Erik Killmonger,several Avengers were killed including Colt Python but more importantly Captain America's mask was ripped revealing to the government officials watching over the Avengers project that he was indeed Vance Astro.That completely broke the agreement between the government and the Avengers and led to the Registration Act.
ROAD TO CIVIL WAR
The registration act was imposed to the American Government in a joint effort by Director of S.H.I.E.L.D,Marc Spector and Attorney General Hank Gyrich in an attempt to make superheroes register with the government in hopes they would be trained properly and be easier to bring to justice when they commit crimes themselves.The Avengers continued to operate after this proposal,but soon went their separate ways because of their differences in opinion on the act.
CIVIL WAR
Vance Astro who has become leader again of the Avengers in the death of his brother,refused to register with the government.He no longer had an Avengers team.In hopes that the registration act wouldn't pass he began to rebuild the Avengers.He created a sanctuary in the sky with his reality manipulation abilities.A sanctuary he called planet V.A large floating landmass where he was free from the prosecution and laws of Earth\America.The Registration act was passed and supeheroes were forced to register.The ones who didn't want the register became then new King's,Royal Avengers or were fugitives of the law.Vance sent his sister American Dream to speak to Spector about the act and try and work out a deal.They engaged in combat and she was killed.The Royal Avengers wanted Vance to take action afterwards and put an end to this act.This caused many heated battles between them and their allies.A full on assualt close to the war's closing on Planet V,caused this landmass to be destroyed..sending the Royal Avengers into a fugitive lifestyle back on Earth\America.The New Secret Avengers took on the American Government,S.H.I..E.L.D,and the Avengers Society and won...killing Spector.The Secret Avengers gracefully fell back and allowed he government to be reformed under 45th President Nicholas Fury,The New Director of Shield Carol Danvers and the new leader of the Avengers Society Peter Parker (Spider-Man).The Secret Avengers became The Banned and went into hiding..secretly taking care of business.
EARTH'S SAVIOR:GODHOOD
Gaea appeared to Vance a second time.This time she offered him godhood in exchange for the destruction of seven destructive items.At this point he had established a secret society.The Illuminati.A cult of people who wished to enjoy the freedoms of American society in a villain free environment.He took his new found disciples on his dimensional expedition to find these items.He gathered them in battles with very powerful foes but again betrayed Gaea.Instead of destroying these weapons he kept them and distributed them amongst his followers.Gaea trusted him but still punished him for his treachery.She granted him godhood as the new earth god of War; however, she stripped him of his mutant abilities.If he were to lead his followers in a fight against Dark Messiah and win without his abilities she would grant him the Champion's cloth.
GOD BLESS THE KING:THE CHAMPION'S CLOTH
After ripping the heart from the Dark Messiah,Gaea awarded Vance with the Champion's cloth.He would be powerless without it but with it he would be a being worthy of godhood.He and his newly formed team the Banned would become the resident lookouts over earth by the orders of Gaea herself.Later several other branches of this cult would be formed to help keep watch over the earth.As his first test of power,Vance went into battle with the Champions Cloth,single handedly against Hydra.It is believed no members are left.
