History: While exploring some underground caves,
geologist Scott Martin discovered strange, alien crystal
formations. Breaking the lamp in his hard hat (and
wishing that he had "brought that old lantern") he
followed a source of light and found an underground
city, powered by a huge crystal. He was captured as a
spy and thrown into a dungeon with Zarkon, the deposed
ruler of the city. His enemy Tyrnos deposed him when he
gained fantastic powers by wearing a fragment of the Ko-Dan
crystal on his crown. Using his geologists tools, Scott
was easily able to escape from the dungeon. He defeated
Tyrnos in a battle of willpower to control the crystal,
which flew into the lamp holder in his hard hat. The
grateful Zarkon let him keep the crystal as a reward,
and Scott returned to the surface world as The Beacon.
Scott
did not keep his true identity a secret, and would aid
anyone who needed him. He was financed by Texas oil
millionaire, Aloysius "Oily" Boyd. After adventuring for
some time, he met the Earth A Beacon for the first time.
They discovered that their power crystals were
identical.
Comments: Thanks to Chris Adams for all the
information used on this page. He notes "The Earth B
Beacon has the same colour coded powers as his
counterpart. He is a founder member of the Knights of
Justice."
