History
Adam Destine was born Adam of Ravenscroft, a Saxon under Norman rule of England during the 1100's. He was severely injured after falling on a scythe, but was saved by a mysterious genie, who he fell in love with.
Adam fought in the Crusades under Richard the Lionheart and had other military exploits. He always seemed to escape injury and was given the name Adam Destine. He had a vision of defeating a powerful sorcerer.
Adam was captured by nomads led by Al Kadhdhaab. They wanted him to battle Sujanaa min Raghbah, who used a magical gem to rule over Persia.
Adam confronted and killed the sorcerer, but was then betrayed by the nomads. In retaliation, a dying Adam destroyed the gem, freeing the genie he had met years ago. After healing his wounds, she granted him immortality and invulnerability. The two wed and had many children over the centuries.
After being forced to kill one of his children, Vincent Destine, Adam went out into space and did not return.
After the family's existence became known and several members were killed, the ClanDestine set out to find him and defend themselves. Adam returned to Earth with the help of the Silver Surfer.
