History
Origins[]
Charlie-27 was a soldier and space militia pilot, genetically engineered to live in Jupiter's gravity,[4] born in Galileo City, Jupiter. As such, he had eleven times the muscle mass of a normal human. He was also a Captain in the United Lands of Earth Space Militia.
Guardians of the Galaxy[]
In 3007 A.D., the alien Badoon invaded the solar system, performing various acts of genocide. Charlie was the only survivor of his world due to being on a long-term space mission. He joined forces with Martinex, Yondu, and Vance Astro to form the Guardians of the Galaxy, a band of freedom fighters.[5] In 3014 A.D., he teamed with the time-traveling Thing, Captain America, and Sharon Carter to retake New York City from Badoon forces.[6] He later time-traveled to the 20th Century, and met the Defenders.[7] He returned to 3015 A.D. with Starhawk and the Defenders to defeat a Badoon invasion force.[8]
After the final defeat of the Badoon, Charlie-27 found himself unable to fit in with postwar civilian life. He departed Earth on a space mission with his fellow teammates[9] and met Nikki, who joined the Guardians of the Galaxy.[10] He then visited the Asylum planet.[11] Charlie helped defeat the Topographical Man[12] and was present when the Guardians learned how the Silver Surfer repulsed the original Badoon invasion attempt of Earth in the 20th Century.[13] He met Aleta and learned the origin of Starhawk.[14] He battled the Reavers of Arcturus.[15] Charlie then discovered the space station Drydock, which the Guardians used as a base of operations for a time.[16]
Time Travel[]
Charlie later teamed with the time-traveling Thor to battle Korvac and his Minions.[17] With the Guardians of the Galaxy, Charlie-27 traveled to the present, in pursuit of Korvac.[18] He met the Avengers, and saved the life of a young Vance Astrovik.[19] Charlie assisted the Avengers in battling Korvac.[20] He attended an Avengers membership meeting, but wound up parting company with the Avengers.[21] Charlie attempted to prevent the meeting of Vance Astro's 20th and 31st Century selves, and battled the Thing to do so.[22] With the Guardians, he then returned to the 31st Century.
Return to the 31st Century[]
Charlie and the Guardians then went on a quest to find the lost shield of Captain America. He battled Taserface and the Stark.[23] He encountered Firelord and defeated the Stark.[24] He battled the superhuman team known as Force.[25] He encountered Malevolence.[26] He located Haven, a lost colony of Earth founded by mutants.[27] He battled Rancor and her Lieutenants.[28]
Charlie once had a romantic relationship with fellow Guardian Nikki, but the two broke it off. They still remained friends.[citation needed]
Though from the future, Charlie-27 managed to become involved in the Infinity War.[29] He and his team saved Avengers Mansion from an invasion by the Masters of Evil.[30] Then both teams saved each other from waves of evil doubles based on their teams.[31]
Rita DeMara once earned his friendship by performing an impromptu surgery with her stings on a massive internal blood-clot, saving his life.[32]
As with the rest of the team, Charlie's last appearance was on a mysterious planet as the team had become lost in space and time.[33]Attributes

Powers
Due to his Jovian ancestry, Charlie-27 is 11 times stronger and 11 times denser than a normal human being:
- Superhuman Strength: Initially his strength allowed him to lift 5 tons in an environment with Earth-like gravity. After his strength was enhanced by Martinex's trans-molecular reconstitutor he became able to lift roughly 6.8 tons.[1][3]
- Superhuman Stamina: His endurance is also much higher than a normal human being; it is estimated that he can push himself for a number of hours at peak efficiency before tiring.
- Superhuman Durability: His skin is incredibly dense, and is about as hard as 20th century Earth bullet-proof glass. He could survive a repulsor blast to the chest with almost no damage[34] and punch from Broadside that knocked him through numerous metal walls for a mile and a half but he was knocked out.[35]
