Origin
Norman Lundquist was the head of the Solar Amplification (SOLAM) project at The Cape. SOLAM is a giant energy gun that shoots solar rays by harnessing the powers of the sun by using orbiting reflectors in space. Unfortunately for Lundquist, a power surge caused the gun to overload and the stored energy converted into a photo-kinetic living mass. Luckily Captain Marvel was on hand to save the day, by using his prior knowledge of SOLAM creatures and mathematic formulae advanced years beyond human knowledge.
Creation
Norman Lundquist was created by writer Arnold Drake and artist Don Heck in 1968.
