Arnold “Ace” Armstrong was personally selected by Countess Crey to be the pilot of Crey’s new solar orbiter.  Ace was chosen for his lightning fast reflexes.  On the inaugural  flight of the orbiter, Ace discovered the ship’s true purpose.  The orbiter was a massive solar collector and solar cannon.  It was collecting rays to be used as a devastating weapon.  Upon his return flight to Earth the autopilot of the orbiter kicked in and was headed on a direct course for the headquarters of the Wild Cards Supergroup.  The Countess was planning to destroy the Wild Cards for arresting her previously.  Ace donned his flight suit and using the indestructible claws he destroyed the solar device.  As he crashed the orbiter on top of Crey Industries in Overbrook he jettisoned the ship with a rocket pack.  When the Wild Cards learned Ace saved them he was invited to join their group to continue the fight for justice.
