Fictional Character Biography
On the planet Scadam in the Gogol System, the leaders of a peaceful humanoid race called the Scadamites watched in horror as the invading Black Fleet of starships destroyed world after world, moving towards the humanoids’ own solar system. The leaders of the humanoid race did not know how to cope with the approaching invaders, for their race had been pacifists for centuries. Not only had the race no weaponry for defense, but its members were so dedicated to their pacifist philosophy that they found the very idea of warring against the invaders abhorrent. Among the leaders, only Durgan the Philosopher sought a means of fighting back against the Black Fleet. He had used the race’s advanced technology to observe the superhumanly powerful beings of Earth, and wondered if somehow their powers could be turned to the service of his race.
Sometime later, a helmeted, robed figure calling himself the Chief Examiner began to appear from time to time on Earth. The Chief Examiner would observe superhumanly powerful beings in action, and attempt to lure them through a strange, floating black portal. Once inside the portal, the superhumanly powerful being would also temporarily lose his or her powers to some extent. The superhumanly powerful being would then emerge from the portal back upon Earth. The entire process would take no more than moments. The superhumanly powerful being soon thereafter would again reach his or her normal power level. However, the Chief Examiner could now duplicate that being’s powers for his own uses with his technology, having analyzed and drained part of them.
It is known that the Chief Examiner was sent to Earth by Durgan. However, the Chief Examiner’s identity remains unknown. It first examined the Hulk battling the U.S. Army, and analyzed the Hulk. It next witnessed Spider-Man battling Mysterio, and analyzed Spider-Man. It then battled the Human Torch and She-Hulk, and analyzed the Human Torch. It witnessed the Thing battling a wizard on Battleworld, and analyzed the Thing.
Later, the Chief Examiner battled the X-Men and Magneto. It rebelled against Durgan's programming, and then analyzed Magneto.
The Chief Examiner was revealed as having released the Angler and set him after Kayla Ballentine, the then-girlfriend of the superhero Quasar. The Examiner had Quagmire send Kayle Ballantine and Holly Steckley to Scadam. Kayla was the wielder of the vastly powerful Star Brand at the time, and did not fully understand her abilities. The Chief Examiner seemingly destroyed itself when it overloaded its analysis capabilities while attempting to analyze and duplicate Kayla's Star Brand powers.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“What is character but the determination of incident? What is incident but the illustration of character?”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
