History

Tom Strong was raised using revolutionary scientific and dieting methods, leading him to become a human being in absolute peak physical condition. He spent his childhood on an island called "Attabar Teru," largely inside of a high-gravity chamber, making him much stronger and faster than the average human beings. His parents, scientists, raised him as a child prodigy; this and the frequent ingestion of a special local root have made him nearly perfect in all aspects.^[1] Although he was born at the turn of the 20th Century, he continues into the present day around 100 years old, still appearing to be in his forties.

After leaving Attabar Teru, Tom Strong took up residence in Millenium City, an area known for being constantly at the peak of modern technology. He resides there with his wife Dhalua, and his daughter Tesla, both of whom are likewise enhanced, if not to the same degree as himself. His other companions are a personal robot, Pneuman, who was built by his father, and King Solomon, a talking gorilla.

Tom Strong is a Science Hero, and his greatest nemesis is or was Paul Saveen, a rival scientist who considers himself much more civilized than the island-based Strong. Strong's exploits are published in a comic book that comes with a subscription to his fan club, the Strongmen of America. He is also an active member of the team "America's Best."
