George held the most dangerous element of all: Gravity. While the others could destroy cities, George could collapse reality itself if he lost focus. Training for eight years had taught him that his power was a curse; using it too much caused internal hemorrhaging and structural damage to his own bones. He was the anchor of the team, a man who lived in a state of constant, disciplined restraint.
He awakened on Planet X24, surrounded by the smell of salt and old wood. He was in the hold of a massive pirate ship, the Black Marauder. Dozens of pirates, led by a man with a wooden leg and a hook named Hawking, surrounded him with drawn blades. Hawking, convinced George was a sea-demon or an alien, ordered his men to kill him. George tried to resolve it with words, but when Hawking sliced his arm, the "Gravity God" decided the lesson was over.
With a flick of his wrist, George inverted the gravity in the room. The pirates screamed as they hit the ceiling, helpless as their weapons floated away. "I'm always kind," George remarked as he lowered them gently, "but if you choose to be bad, I'll become your dad." Terrified and impressed, Hawking begged for George's help. His son, Russell, had been lost in the "Mysterious Trench," a place where the ocean itself seemed to bleed golden light.
George used his power to lift the entire pirate ship out of the water, flying it like a massive bird to the trench. There, at the bottom of the ocean floor, they found Russell. He wasn't himself; he was possessed by the Golden Ring of Celestial Power. A battle ensued beneath the waves, with Russell firing rays of pure starlight. In a moment of fatherly sacrifice, Hawking threw himself in front of a lethal beam intended for George, dying in his arms.
Just as the possessed Russell prepared a final, world-ending blast, time froze. The same mysterious man from Arnold's world stepped out of a portal. He looked at George and smiled a sad, knowing smile. "Hi, my boy," he said. With a simple command, the Golden Ring slid off Russell's finger and into the man's hand. He stepped back into the void, and as time resumed, Russell collapsed and died. George, heart heavy with the pirate's sacrifice, felt the white light take him as he too began to disappear.
