Overview
The man who would come to be known as Vandal Savage was once a neanderthal Vandar Adg. He was the leader of a tribe from 50,000 BCE. Vandar Adg was exposed to radiation given off by a fallen meteorite, which had a number of effects on him. It increased his intellect, forwarded an evolutionary jump in his biology and made him immortal.

Savage went on to become a key figure in major political events. He founded the Illuminati, had a hand in the destruction of Atlantis, was present during the rise of great leaders such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. He was in England in the 6th century during the time of King Arthur, Merlin and the demon Etrigan. He was Wallacia in the 15th century, and may have even been Vlad the Impaler. He laid claim to being Jack the Ripper in the late 1800s.

By the early 1940s, Vandal Savage had a vested interest in aiding the Axis Powers, with eyes on becoming a global ruler in his own right. This brought him into conflict with the superhuman team known as the Justice Society of America. In fact, it was Savage's machinations that caused the JSA to disband in [[1951.

In the modern era, Savage continued to consolidate his power base, playing a major role in the geopolitical structure of the world, which often came to cross purposes with opposing government agencies as well as super-heroes such as the Justice League of America.

It is known that Vandal Savage survived well into the 853rd century.
