History: Mark Medula was an astronaut who undertook a mission to Mars, the Pegasus Mission. Returning from his trip, his ship docked with the Threshold Space Statin, only to discover it had been taken over by an alien warlord, Cerellus, who had used his psionic abilities to subjugate the crew. Cerellus intended to destroy humanity, and thus make the Earth available for colonisation to the people f his own over-populated planet. He and Mark fought, and both managed to kill the other. Although Cerellus' physical form was destroyed, his consciousness survived and inhabited Mark's body. Somehow this combination of soul's resurrected Mark and gave him incredible powers...but it also left him sharing his mind with a hostile alien entity who would continually try to usurp control of his form.
