Origin

Jack Binder trained in the martial arts since he was a teen. When he came of age, he began to compete in mixed martial arts tournaments. Later, when he came across a mugging, he fought off the attackers and saved a couple from harm. This made him feel good, so he adopted the guise of MMA (Mixed Martial Artist). He modeled his alternate self from the golden age hero Daredevil, right down to the boomerangs.

Powers and Abilities

He has no powers, but he is highly skilled in many martial arts styles.

Golden Age Origin

In 1940, Capt. Jacob Miles appears in the middle of a battle of superhumans, during WWII, from an explosion of temporal energy. He has strange futuristic weapons and clothing. He quickly learns who the heroes and villains are and joins the heroes. After the battle, they question who he is, and he tells them his story. They dub him Captain Omega, and consider him one of their own. He lives out the remainder of his days forward from this era, despite his many attempts to get home.

He soon caught the eye of several military generals and was selected for service in an elite group of soldiers, the Omega Squadron, that combats superhumans. He was given the codename Polecat. During one particular incident, Omega Squadron encounters a group of powerful superhumans; including a time manipulator. This time manipulator uses his power to send Polecat back to 1940; and the other members of his team into other points in time, future and past.
