Roman Marcus Aelius was called the Lion of
Rome by Emperor Hadrian. He was the most successful warrior in Rome so when an
alien race, the Virmiru,
arrived and offered to exchange representatives he was the one chosen. Schooled
in combat and the use of Virmiru technology he returned to Earth two thousand
years later to take up his pace as Earths protector. Upon entry into Earth's
atmosphere he encountered
Superman and Lois Lane.
While he had never met them they remembered him from a different timeline where
he called himself Alpha Centurion. Taking the name he took up his place as one
of Earth's defenders.
For a time Alpha Centurion worked with
Lex Corp while it was being
controlled by Contessa and
helped set up an extension of the
Team Luthor group. He
departed from them when their dishonorable intentions were revealed. Moving to
Washington he discovered the truth about his Virmiru that they were using him as
a scout for their own invasion force. This forced him to break off contact with
them and prepare for their arrival. Since then he had fought along side Earths
heroes against the Sun Eater
and as part of the Superman Rescue Squad. In both cases his starship the Pax
Romana has proved a valuable assist.
