Dr. Gene Nelson West; A science-wizard-criminal of the year 1986 from an alternate universe, who poses as the superhero "POWER NELSON", escapes to our Earth in an Interdimensional starship from Earth police forces led by the "Super-Americans"¹ . West’s crimes- stealing and selling weapon and other high technology to international criminal “Emperor” Seng, Warlord of NYC. West always wanted power- he made secret deals with Seng to conspire to pose as bitter enemies. The Power Nelson/Seng feud was simply a ruse to throw earth gov'ts from the illegal exchanges and hording of stolen currency and precious metals and gems.

Seng was more than willing to trade money and the benefits of his nefarious network to get whatever technology West could successfully steal(from various governments), copy or make himself to aid Seng’s goals for global dominance, which West was promised governing control of North America. In the end, the allied Earth forces deposed Seng. In the last moments of the genocidal warlord's standoff, West betrayed Seng to the invading allies- buying him time to escape off-planet in an experimental spacecraft containing the contents of his laboratory as well as tons of precious metals/gems.

Dr. West, predicting the demise of his despotic employer, had been studying an alternate universe as a getaway- surmising that an alternate Earth, far enough back in time, would give him such a technological advantage that would make him powerful and rich beyond his dreams. Finding a universe whose Earth was 60 years younger than his own, West used a quantum-time-space drive to escape to our unsuspecting Earth. The drive was experimental and malfunctions- West arrives on June 30, 1908.

He appears over the North Pole colliding with a massive electromagnetic force emitted by Nikola Tesla‘s Wardenclyffe Tower- during a secret testing of his infamous “Death Ray”. Crashing in Tunguska, Russia, West’s ship drives itself underground and causes the most mysterious explosion in Earth’s history. Various science-villains vie for the wrecked craft- a motley crew of disparate villains and mysterious agents(1),- but to no avail.  He is rescued by a team including Tesla, expert pilot David Nelson I(²⁾, WWI ace Admiral Byrd, Dr. Mystery(3)  (secretly representing French interests(⁴⁾) and  a mysterious woman agent with lightning reflexes who claimed to be "the enemy of their enemy"(5). The Tesla group succeeds in saving West and his ship- which they use to escape the villians who pursue their prize.
 
West manipulates everyone around him easily. He weaves a tale of being the sole survivor of the planet Sirius-Prime; a planet of science-wizardry destroyed by the evil despot Emperor Seng. West claims to be the sole survivor- losing his family and friends- forever mourning his lost home.

Operating at first in secret, West begins to amass a technological/financial empire with David Nelson I and makes allies in other technocrats like Howard Hughes. As a result, he accelerates the technology of his new home- in very limited amounts, but it comes with a cost. Science villains appear, threatening the world, but ultimately, threatening West’s power. So Dr. West decides to become a science hero taking on the mantle of his heroic ruse- DOC SIRIUS, Man of the FUTURE!
