Wendell Vaughn
Wendell Vaughn is one of Marvel's cosmic heroes, a character whose adventures frequently take him into outer space or other dimensions. However, Quasar deviates from the archetype of the noble, dauntless alien set by such Silver Age cosmic heroes as the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock and Captain Mar-Vell in that he is an everyman. He starred in an eponymous monthly ongoing series written by Mark Gruenwald that ran for sixty issues beginning in 1989 and has served as a member of The Avengers. He was the Protector of the Universe and fought many foes, including Magus, Oblivion, Her, and Maelstrom, before apparently perishing at the hands of Annihilus, who drains the energy from the Quantum Bands.
When the Skrulls led a Secret Invasion of Earth, scientists found some "exotic radiation" in the Negative Zone, which was Wendell Vaughn in a quantum energy form.
