Scully's adventures began when he was convicted of the accidental murder of his brother, who attacked him with a knife while high, and the chartered plane transporting him and several others was caught in a time/space warp over the Bermuda Triangle and ended up crashing in an unknown location which appeared to incorporate elements from various points in Earth's history (centred around the mysterious Tower of Time) as well as artifacts left by alien races (including the power belt). He and his companions were eventually rescued by the Thing of the Fantastic Four. He served in Doctor Druid's team of occult investigators the Shock Troops alongside Shadowoman and N'Kantu, the Living Mummy. He was attempting to find a way to remove the power belt which had recently been damaged and had altered his appearance. His skin had become transparent showing only a green glowing skelton.During this time, he had adopted the alias of the obscure Golden Age hero, the Blazing Skull. He crossed paths with heroes such as Quasar and Captain America while a member of the team. Eventually, Doctor Druid was able to restore him to his normal appearance and he left the team. Sometime later, attempts to remove the belt caused him lose the youthful metabolism the belt provided.He gained weight and lost much of the physical shape the belt had kept him at over the years. While serving as a bodyguard, he met and had an adventure with Hawkeye. He has since returned to the Bermuda Triangle with Lee Forrester.
