HistoryEdit

Dr Fleming Jorgenson was part of a scientific expedition in the Antarctic wastes in 1955. They had discovered the mysterious site littered with dead bodies where Sathanus was the only one alive. Sathanus had sucked the lifeforce from everyone there but Jorgenson. With the help of Sathanus' knowledge of technology and Aldus Hilltop's financial and political muscle, Jorgenson became the chief scientist of the Next Men project. He didn't stay for long as he strongly disagreed with Aldus Hilltop's militaristic goals for the project. He quit and was replaced by Dr Joseph Bremmer who would be the chief scientist in the decades to come until its closure. Meanwhile Jorgenson, claiming to have communist sympathies, elected to collaborate with the Russians in setting up a rival Next Men program known as Project Omega. Jorgenson's project appeared to be spiraling out of control which alarmed the Russian government. The original Next Men in their first assignment would be sent to investigate this rival project at the request of the Russians (Read issues 7-12, re-released in TPB form as Parallel for the full story of this investigation).
