History:
Like all the Elders of the Universe, the origin of the Champion is lost in
antiquity. What is know is that he is one of the oldest living beings in
the universe, having been among the first of the universe's races to become
sentient in the wake of the Big Bang itself. Truly immortal, he grew bored
with the mundane pursuits of common existence, and decided to devote himself
to physical self-perfection. After training himself for millennia, he set
forth to learn all the methods of physical combat in all the known galaxies.
Now he travels from one inhabited planet to the next, challenging the champions
of each planet to a personal match using a form of fighting native to that
world. In fifty thousand bouts on twenty thousand worlds, the Champion has
never lost. He has visited Earth and battled superhuman champions there.
The Champion joined the other Elders in an unsuccessful attempt to kill
Galactus.

Strength
Level: The limits of the Champion's strength are not known. In Earth's
gravity, he can lift (press) at least 100 tons. His strength derives from
the channeling of cosmic energy for physical use.
Known Superhuman
Powers: The Champion controls the power primordial, the energy derived
from the Big Bang itself. He has channeled this power into the development
of his physical form: his musculature, his reflexes, his stamina, and his
strength, while the exercise of human strength taps electro-chemical energies
of the complex molecules in the body, the Champion's strength taps cosmic
nuclear energies. His physical strength is only determined by the amount
of cosmic energy his finite form can contain. This limit has yet to be seen.
He apparently never tires since his body has the ability to tap whatever
energies it needs to recuperate. He cannot be hurt by any means short of
molecular dispersion. Having channeled all of the cosmic energy as his command
into making his body a perfect fighting machine, the Champion can no longer
direct that energy from his body into force-blast as many other energy
manipulators can.
Abilities:
The Champion has mastered untold thousands of different martial arts and
fighting styles culled from across the known Universe, and spends the majority
of his time between championship matches practicing these arts.
Limitation:
The Champion's limitations are not known.
