Howard Falcon

Captain Howard Falcon was a highly-accomplished balloonist until his luxury airship, the Queen Elizabeth II, crashed in the Grand Canyon sometime in the 2080s. Falcon's body was damaged beyond repair in the accident, but his brain was salvaged by the prophetae of the Free Spirit, a cult, which built a new robotic body for him.

Years later, Falcon became the first "man" to travel to Jupiter, and made first contact with the Medusa living there.
