History

As a young man, Astrovik changed his name to Vance Astro. After a tenture in the Airforce, he was accepted into the astronaut program at a very young age and was assigned for a special mission to help colonize Alpha Centauri. When his ship was found centuries later, Earth had already colonized the other planets in the Sol System. The Badoon soon attacked and Vance found himself attempting to escape with Yondu. They were captured and sent to the enslaved Earth. However, they escaped and Vance found himself leading a group of fellow adventurers... the Guardians of the Galaxy.

After traveling to the present, the Guardians were given honorary Avengers status.

While in the present, Vance attempted to convince his younger self to not take the same path he did. The young Vance's mutant powers emerged during the meeting. Back in their own time, the Vance found the shield of Captain America, fell in love with Aleta, who was still married to her estranged husband, Stakar, only to watch him absorb her into his body during a battle with the daughter of Mephisto, Malevolence. This act forced him and the rest of the team to vote Stakar off the team.

The Guardians returned to Earth, where after reuniting with their old friend Tarin after being mistaken for badguys by her team of freedom fighters, the Commandeers. Once tempers had cooled down and the teams reconcilied, they were attacked by a street gang calling themselves the Punishers, after learning about Frank Castle from holo chip recordings made by Vance. A sniper injured Vance, shot Vance as he and the others were leaving their then base, the former Sub-Basement of the Avengers Mansion. Althouth the sniper's aim was thrown off due to a last second save by the Inhuman Talon, the bullet still struck his temple and nearly killed him. As the Guardians and Commandeers fought the Punishers, Hollywood, formally Wonder Man, carried Vance to safty. Because the bullet was able to rupter his Adamantium containment suit, it is assumed the bullet was composed of Dargonite, Simon gave Vance some of his ionic blood while Sorcerer Supreme Krugarr used a spell to not only safe his life, but destroy his containment suit and stop his body from rapidly aging.

Vance eventually married Aleta.

The New Guardians of the Galaxy

Shortly after the Phalanx conquest, Starlord and his unnamed team came across Vance, along with part of the Avengers' Mansion, frozen in Limbo Ice. Freed by Phala-Vell, he accompanyed the team back to their base on Knowhere, joining their team and inspiring them to use Guardians of the Galaxy as their name. Suffering from amnesia, Vance was soon attacked by a Starhawk, who changed apperances and idenities numerous times.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Vance Astro possesses the psionic ability of psychokinesis, the ability to affect matter with his mind. For some reason, Vance's psionic powers can only be manifested as "psyche-blasts", focused psychokinetic blasts of explosive force, that can disrupt the synapses in the minds of any living being they strike. Lately, Vance has shown some marginal improvement of the control of his psychokinesis, such as generating small psionic pulses to slow the descent of falling people, or gentle psychic bursts to move objects forwards or backwards (all without inflicitng any damage on the people or objects). During the time when he carried Captain America's shield in combat, he would use his power to propel the shield and manipulate its flight path, simulating the Captain's use of the shield as a throwing weapon. All of these abilities were augmented by a transfusion of Hollywood's (a 1,000 year old Simon Williams) ionically enhanced blood.
