HISTORY
In the mid 1920s, Hugo Danner faked his death and found his way through the jungles of Rioguay into the time-lost lands of the interior South America. Finding a small isolated tribe, Danner used the same chemicals that his father used on him to create a generation of superhuman aborigines.
During June, 1942, Danner led the self-named Sons of Dawn into the capitol city of Rioguay and seized control of the government. He was only stopped by a large contingent of the All-Star Squadron, and by the fact that the tribe had no immunity to modern diseases. One by one, they quickly fell ill and died, with Xavi being the only known survivor. Danner apparently committed suicide as his nightmares of similar powered supermen and women fighting for control of the world became a reality.
