While exploring an isolated region of northern Canada, Professor Richard Pearson happened upon a hidden valley of a lost city. The valley was inhabited by a race of giants, with only one of them surviving, a giant child. Prof. Pearson decided to 'adopt' the giant youth, who stood 12 feet tall, and brought him to the United States. Dr. Francis Hilldale, a confidant of Prof. Pearson, attempted an experiment that would shrink the giant child to normal size. After which, Scott Pearson found that he could alter his size at will, whether growing to a height of 20 feet or shrinking to the size of a doll. Being the last surviving member of his lost race, Mighty Man is in a lot of ways a true 'alien'. Though not from America, he takes pride in being part of a team determined to protect it, at all costs. ^[1]

Powersand abilities

Mighty Man's main powers involve size manipulation. In the Protectors comic, he is able to grow greater than 20 ft and his strength increased exponentially with increased size. Mighty Man also has the ability to shrink at will, retaining his normal strength level while being the size of a doll.
