Alpha Centurion is a hero of ancient Rome who later became an ally to Superman. He was abducted by aliens during his own time, who experimented on him and gave him a suit with special powers. This included enhanced strength, enhanced speed, and the ability to generate an energy blade. They deposited him several thousand years later in Metropolis during the 20th Century. There was an early version of the Centurion that appeared while time was fluctuating during Zero Hour, which disappeared, although he later appeared in the regular timeline. He has also been a member of Team Luthor.
Alpha Centurion was created by Karl Kesel, first appearing in Zero Hour: Crisis in Time #3. (1994)
