Jack of Harts

Edwin Case grew up in Yuma, Arizona, where his natural size and years of weight lifting made him a proficient football star. He would go to college at Arizona State on a football scholarship, and became a first round pick in the National Football League after he graduated. He excelled and earned the League MPV award in his first year. But standard medical tests in the off-season detected signs that he was becoming Ageless. He was released from his contract, of course, and all of his NFL records were expunged from the books. He returned home to Yuma, a broken and bitter man, and began to spend far too much time in the local bars. After one particularly long night of drinking, he got into a disagreement with a squad of local Marines. He put all but one of them in the hospital, destroyed an impressive amount of property, and the judge gave him two choices. Jail time, or military service. He walked into Yuma Spacebase the next day.
