| Never graduating school, Sam Sterns took a job as a janitor in a United States government research facility, where an accident led to his body being bombarded with intense gamma radiation. Days later his exposure to gamma rays caused his mutation to result in his mental abilities expanding beyond that of anyone else on the planet. Determining that he was the only person smart enough to rule the world Sterns dubbed himself the Leader. |
