Character History
Samson is a member of the Guardians of the Globe. For a time, Samson lost his powers and was let go from the team. Desperate to be a superhero again, he went to Art the tailor to obtain a power suit. When the suit was stolen and the original Guardians were killed, he was initially the prime suspect. However, it was established that he had not left his home for weeks. The Guardians' funeral was disrupted by Samson's butler Sanford, who had stolen the suit to kill the Guardians as revenge for his employer.
Samson was eventually recruited into the new Guardians of the Globe, wearing the power suit. During a battle between Invincible, Titan, the Guardians and Machine Head's syndicate, Samson was seriously injured by Battle Beast, along with Bulletproof. He was comatose for several weeks. Meanwhile, in order to curb the side effects of using her powers, Robot modified Samson's power suit so that Monster Girl could wear it on missions. During a fight with the dimensional villain Omnipotus, the power suit was destroyed and Samson revived, his powers returning to him greatly augmented due to the coma enabling his powers to "recharge", allowing him to turn the tide in the heroes' favor. His powers have subsequently returned to their normal levels.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or history:
“His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
