Comic Book University reviews ALL things comic related and Professor Bill is on the latest geek culture while maintaining the retro reminders of yesteryear.

Hey, Guys, Professor Bill with Comic Book University and I’m going to explain Charlie-27 in about a minute.
* Charlie-27’s first appearance was in “Marvel Super-Heroes #18” in January 1969 and he was created by Arnold Drake and Gene Colan.
* He was born in the 31st century in an alternate future, in Galileo City, Jupiter to two miners from the Jovian mining colony; Charlie-26 and Mabel-17.
* Like all the miners, he was a human breed that was bio-genetically engineered to withstand Jupiter’s greater gravity, making him very stocky and inhumanly strong.
* His people were mostly gas-miners but, looking to do more, Charlie-27 joined the military when he was 16, attaining the rank of captain.
* Returning from a solo mission, he discovered that his people were wiped out by the Badoon, a hostile race of aliens who invaded the solar system.
* He took a teleporter tube to Pluto seeking help where he found that the Badoon had already ravaged the planetoid, however, he found Martinex.
* Together they teleported to Earth where they discovered that Earth had also been occupied by the Badoon.
* On Earth, they met with Vance Astro and Yondu, who were also resisting the invading forces. These four resistance fighters formed the Guardians of the Galaxy.
* Charlie-27’s entire body is much denser than a normal human’s, his people having been genetically engineered for habitation on Jupiter, making his body 11 times more durable than that of a standard man.
* He can lift 5-10 tons over his head with relative ease and can take hits from the Thing.
* He is a longtime soldier and has an excellent military mind. He often provides the strategies for the Guardians.
* He carries various heavy firearms and can pilot most spacecraft of the 31st century.
* He is a devoted friend and will always fight for those who are enslaved no matter the odds.
And that’s Charlie-27 in about a minute.
