The story of Strange Quark began 10 years ago in a parallel universe
called Superhero City. Well, that's 10 years ago in that universe's
timeline (roughly equivalent to 10 millennia in this universe).
No one knows how he
came into existence; he just suddenly materialised from a quantum
probability field, as though someone had finally decided to open
Schrödinger's box, only to find that it was not a cat inside after
all.
His role in the
defeat of the Zigonian alien invasion has been documented by a
historian:
"Strange Quark
is far from your average quark. Once captured by the Zigonians who
were sent by Warlord Quasar, Strange Quark was able to escape with
the aid of molecular rearrangement. The Zigonians soon learned that
they shouldn't have messed with Strange Quark as he became one of the
first heroes to take out 3000 Zigonians, as well as taking the top
spot on the Champion leaderboard after ThinkingStiff hung up his
cape. Quark never hesitated to help heroes in need and readily
provided vast amounts of service in Superhero City, continuing to do
so to this day."
A few years later,
the Mayor of Superhero City released a new superpower called Quark
Annihilation in honour of Strange Quark, but ironically, it
interacted with him to produce anti-strange quark particles, which
led to his disappearance from the Superhero City universe.
So, Strange Quark
ceased to exist, or well, he sort of existed in a field of quantum
uncertainty, which basically meant he might or might not still be
around.
Fast forward to the
present universe, in the wake of the Legion's invasion. The Morphons
they released were ubiquitous. A scientist in a secret laboratory
decided to study the interaction of Morphons with the Higgs boson in
a particle accelerator and inadvertently collapsed the probability
wave function of Strange Quark's uncertain existence. Schrödinger's
box was opened once again and out came good ol' Quark, this time even
Stranger than ever.
