History

Temple Baldry was a dying scientist who invented a creative way of avoiding death. Baldry created "modules", tiny multi-armed robots that shared one "mind". After downloading his mind into the modules, Temple became the Modular Man, and began converting metal mass into more modules which were each identical to the previous. Temple continued this process exponentially, if any were to be destroyed another would take it's place. After attempting to takeover Millennium City, Modular Man was stopped by Tom Strong and his family including Dhalua Strong, Tesla Strong, Solomon and Pneuman. In order to free the city from his modulating grasp, Tom gave Temple his Hypersaucer and ordered it to venture to venus to offer Temple a world of his own.
