Earl Weygand is an astrophysicist at NASA who designed the Voyager III. Contained within it, as all Voyagers, was a message of peace.Â
Â
The Voyager III was found by a spaceship that contacted the Earth. They were a peaceful race and planned to come to Earth to visit. Weygand was extremely excited for the arrival of the aliens and thought that this meant that Earth would reach a new technological era. Little did he know, the race he contacted was the Enslavers, and he led them right to Earth.
Â
The Enslavers arrived and captured the entire population of Earth. As a reward for leading them to his planet, Earl was awarded one week of freedom before he bacame a slave by Mrrungo-Mu.
Â
The Silver Surfer knew this and secretly gave Weygand half of his Power Cosmic. Earl saw this as a chance to atone for leading the aliens to Earth. He was able to destroy the important systems on the main ship that gave Mrrungo-Mu his power, but at the cost of his own life.
