History: A young warrior was born into a tribe of Cro-Magnon that all possessed superpowers. The warrior was a fierce rival of Vander Adg, and their ultimate battle was interrupted by a meteor falling from the sky. The meteor made Vander immortal, and the warrior took a piece of it and fashioned it into a necklace. From that point on, when the warrior died he was reincarnated into the body of another, earning the name Immortal Man.

In each incarnation Immortal Man battled Vander Adg, or Vandal Savage as he was now known.

(Action Comics #553) - Immortal Man gathered Dane Dorrance, Animal Man, Cave Carson, Dolphin, Congo Bill and Rip Hunter and asked them to aid him in combating Vandal Savage. He told them they were Forgotten Heroes, but they could still make a difference. Immortal Man told them Vandal Savage infected Superman with time-seeds from the time pyramids. As the seeds dropped in Metropolis Park they turned it into a prehistoric jungle, which quickly spread to the heart of Metropolis. The Forgotten Heroes investigated the pyramids, and then contacted Superman and let him know about Savage's plans. Superman flew into the sun to burn off the seeds, and then traveled back in time with Rip Hunter to the Big Bang to destroy the original time pyramid. He succeeded, causing the time pyramids to disappear from the present, but Superman was lost in the timestream, and Rip Hunter returned to the present without him.
