History: (Mr. Majestic #4 (fb)) - Majestros was drafted into the Kherubim / Daemonite war, and alongside his son Magistrate and several other Kherubim he boarded a spacecraft where their bodies were placed in suspended animation while their essence, or souls, were kept in stasis crystals. The ship crash landed on Earth, badly damaging the craft. Majestros revived, but found that his son died in the crash. He kept his son’s stasis crystal in hopes of one day finding a way to revive him.
(Mr. Majestic #4) - After centuries of planning Mr. Majestic pierced Otherspace, a realm whose existence couldn’t be proven and where reality was a variable. He plucked pre-dimensional star-stuff from a sleeping star and gave it to his sidekick Desmond to analyze. Desmond was thrilled with pushing the boundaries of science, and Mr. Majestic told him the story of how he’d lost his son Magistrate when he’d arrived on Earth. Majestic built an artificial body and hoped to revive his son by combining the stasis crystal that held his son’s essence with the star-stuff. Desmond set up a machine to bombard the artificial body with energy, and before long Magistrtae was reborn. Majestic held his son tight, allowing himself to feel emotions more strongly than he had in centuries. Majestic educated his son so he could assimilate on Earth, and the boy took the superhero identity of Junior Majestic to enter the family business. Together they took down the supervillain Warknox-Prime, and Junior Majestic became a hit with the media and children. Majestic was a humble man, but his pride in his son wouldn’t allow him to see the press coverage as unseemly. A singularity appeared in Australia, and the Majestics went to investigate. They found a man who’d been turned into a living black hole, and were almost sucked in before attaining escape velocity. Desmond came to the tragic, yet inescapable conclusion that when Majestic took the star-stuff from Otherspace he upset the cosmic balance and caused the singularity. Junior knew he had to sacrifice himself to save the world, and although Majestic pleaded with him, he was convinced when his son reminded him they were heroes and did what was right no matter the cost. Junior flew into the singularity, reuniting his essence with Otherspace and causing the singularity to subside. Majestic held the artificial frame that was once his son and wept.
