<B>Real Name:</B> Leonard Samson
<B>Group Affiliation:</B> None
<B>Height:</B> 6'6"
<B>Weight:</B> 380 lbs.
<B>Eyes:</B> Blue
<B>Hair:</B> Green (Brown Originally)
<B>Powers:</B> Doc Samson possesses great superhuman strength, endurance, and resistance to injury due to gamma radiation that has transformed and fortified his cellular structure in addition to turning his hair green. Samson can leap 580 feet straight up and to a distance of 910 feet. His body is resistant to penetration wounds up to a high caliber bullet and can survive a fall at terminal velocity against concrete.
In our reality, psychiatrist Dr. Leonard Samson came to General Thunderbolt Ross with a plan to cure the General's daughter Betty, who had been transformed into a crystalline form through a blood transfusion with the Sandman. Samson had technicians devise a cathexis ray projector that would drain off gamma particle energy and psionic energy from Bruce Banner as he transformed into the monstrous Hulk. The cathexis ray succeeded in turning Betty Ross back to normal, employing Banner's psionic energy. However, a considerable amount of excess gamma radiation remained within the cathexis ray projector. Motivated by scientific curiosity, and probably by a desire to gain superhuman powers for himself, Samson irradiated himself with the energies remaining within the projector. The result was that the slight, brown-haired psychiatrist was transformed into a massively muscled, green-haired superhuman with gamma-boosted strength.
