Samuel Schwartz was a member of the then famous covert team the Metal Men during World War III.
History
While serving for the Metal Men, Schwartz was the second-in-command of his commander and close friend Marcus Moore.
Schwartz and the Metal Men served during the Czech War in 1968 and were given a mission procuring a Red Tornado chemical warhead captured by the Czech resistance in Prague, in order to broker peace between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Metal Men met their resistance contact Martina Zelenka, also known as Raven, who directed them to the warhead. Schwartz was immediately enamored in Zelenka. Once they discovered the Red Tornado, Moore intended to have the warhead launched at Moscow to quickly end the war; however, Schwartz was morally opposed to his commander's change of plans as he wouldn't stand for unleashing that kind of weapon on a civilian population. Both Schwartz and Moore had their conviction and were willing to kill each other for them. Schwartz was very reluctant to kill his friend, Moore conversely intend to kill Schwartz but only to be shot in the head by Zelenka, saving Schwartz's life in the process.[1]

However, Powergirl refused to align herself to anyone and left on her terms.[2]
