History
Guardian was a former cop in Metropolis who turned vigilante. Soon after, he became employed by Cadmus (or was possibly brainwashed) and was put in charge of security. On July 4th a small fire broke out at the Cadmus street level. Soon after, G-Gnome reported three intruders on sub level 26. Dr. Desmond, his employer waved aside the concerns said that if an intruder had broken into Cadmus, he would have noticed. Nevertheless, Guardian took a squad to investigate and stumbled upon the trio of Robin,Aqualad and Kid Flash. Guardian did try to resolve the situation peacefully but when Kid Flash brought up the subject of Cadmus making weapons, Guardians G-Gnome forced Guardian to resort to violence. After a short fight with the group the trio of sidekicks fled and headed for project Kr and locked themselves in. After Desmond activated project Kr which turned out to be a clone of Superman, Desmond ordered Guardian to put Superboy back in his pod. Guardian said that he didn't see the harm in letting the boy "stretch his legs" but Desmond again used the G-Gnomes to surpres his will. When Superboy broke the three sidekicks out Guardian, Desmond and Dubbilex tried to cut them off in several areas before surrounding them at sub level 1. The G-Gnomes used there telekinetic powers to send the fours, minus Superboy to sleep before Dubbilex explained that it was he who set the fire and gave him directions to leave the building in hopes that he would free all his 'brothers'. The G-Gnomes soon woke the four and released there control on the Guardian who said that he would deal with Desmond. However, when Desmond transformed himself into the monster Blockbuster The Guardian was quickly knocked unconcious. He would awake some time later and proceeded to the remain of Cadmus' ground level to tell his story to the Justice League. Later, the Cadmus board appointed him as the new head at there DC branch.
