The half-Swedish Brock Samson was born in Omaha, Nebraska during the 1960s. He is a former football scholar who joined the Army after accidentally killing his team's deaf quarterback during practice. After the military, he joined the Office of Secret Intelligence, which gave him the assignment to provide protection for the scientist Dr. Thaddeus Venture and his family. He is sometimes referred to as a “walking Swedish murder machine” because of his hyper-violent fighting style. He can take and give punishments very easily, and can kill anyone with his bare hands. Samson is a picture of perfect manhood; his Swedish looks of blond hair and blue eyes are matched with the ultimate macho physique.
