Fictional character biography

Lance Corporal David Reid, great-grandson of Franklin D. Roosevelt, was with the Marine platoon assigned to halt the looting of the National Museum of Iraq during the Iraq War. Reid tracked one of the looters and found an artifact; upon touching it, Reid blacked out, waking up three weeks later to find that he was now filled with plasma energy and that a mark shaped like the Eye of Providence had opened up on his left arm. With the aid of a pointed hand-held device (which got him the nickname “Lance”), Reid was able to project focused blasts of energy.

Because the modern Justice Society tries to keep the legacies of former heroes alive, and because Franklin Roosevelt was credited with bringing the JSA together in the first place, the Society asked Reid to join them.

When the JSA encounter the third-world survivor Gog, several of their number have themselves "healed" by him. When Gog sets out to save a village from a rogue military attack, the JSA assist him. During the conflict, Lance is struck by an RPG missile, and killed. Gog stands over Lance and brings him back to life, replacing his ruined arm and eye with golden versions. Gog then says "Magog. Rise". [Justice Society of America" vol. 3 #18]

Powers and Abilities

As Lance, Reid possessed great amounts of plasma energy within him, which were focused into energy blasts by the tool on his left arm. As Magog, his left arm is now metal, he wields a trident, and he probably posesses enhanced strength and endurance, as the original Magog did.
