History: (Batman and the Outsiders #14, 15)-Antaeus’ origins are unknown, but he was probably given his power by the Monitor. Antaeus was a member of the New Olympians, henchmen of the Monitor lent out to madman Maxie Zeus in order to kidnap Olympic athlete Lacinia Nitocris. The New Olympians were opposed by the Outsiders, and the two teams faced off in Olympic games to determine a victor. Antaeus was pitted against Geo-Force in wrestling, and the fight was in Antaeus’ favor until Geo-Force levitated him into the air, depriving him of his strength.
