History
Rick Jones was chosen by God-Emperor Doom to stand guard over the legendary Asgardian Destroyer Armor in Nornheim. As long as he stayed in the cave, he was granted immortality. Calling himself the Ancient One, he spent a long time protecting Doom's treasure.
After a long time of being alone, he received a visit from some old friends and family, his great-granddaughter Janis and the Rebels. Along with them was his former friend who was now the Baron of Dystopia, the Maestro who was seeking to claim the armor for himself.[1]
Rick led them to the armor and told Maestro that he was free to put it on. Suspecting a trap, Maestro refused to believe that obtaining the armor could be that easy. Rick told him that it wasn't, as he had already summoned Doom to deal with the Maestro. Maestro put on the armor just as Doom arrived. A fight ensued, which the Maestro won with little effort, going on to seize all of Battleworld and rule it as the new All-Father.
Or so he would believe. There was indeed a trap; the armor trapped all those who attempted to take it in an illusion of their deepest wish. The Maestro, reverting to his human form, would thus remain trapped in the illusion for all eternity.[2]Attributes
