Vance Astro[]
Vance Astro is an alternate reality counterpart to Vance Astrovik and hails from the reality dubbed Earth-691. He is a mutant, gifted with the ability to project blasts of psychokinetic energy from his mind. Having legally changed his name from Astrovik to Astro, Vance signed up for the U.S. space program in 1988, becoming the youngest accepted applicant in the astronaut training program. He was placed in command of Project: Starjump, which was the first manned exploratory mission to the Centauri star system. Vance was placed in suspended animation for the long journey and awakened in the year 3007 when his ship, the Odysseus I, arrived on Centauri IV. Astro met the human colonists already living on the planet by that time, as well as a native named Yondu Udonta. The conquering alien species known as the Badoon invaded Centauri IV, causing widespread destruction. Astro and Yondu escaped and met up with other interstellar expatriates, who were likewise victimized by Badoon occupation. This group banded together, with Vance Astro as their leader, and called themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy. They succeeded in liberating the planet Earth from the Badoon, and continued on to other worlds facing various cosmic threats in the name of freedom. During his time with the Guardian of the Galaxy, Vance took on the code-name, Major Victory.

Vance Astrovik was born a mutant, gifted with the ability of telekinesis, that developed after he reached puberty. He was the son of Arnold and Norma Astrovik, and suffered great abuse at his father's hands, after his parents learned that he was a mutant. Lashing out against the violence, Vance accidentally used his powers to kill his father. Vance ran away from home and eventually used his powers to fight injustice, first teaming up with the likes of the Thing, the Defenders and eventually the New Warriors, where he assumed the code-name Justice.
