Origin
Vortex was a part of a large alien military force that destroyed worlds. Vortex became disillusioned with his role in the genocide of planets as a Destroyer and went A-wol. He stole the motor to make a God Machine to create a force that would challenge the army he was once a part of. On every planets he set up his God Machine he had bad results. On some planets nothing would happen. On other planets people would mutate and die.  Â
In the 1930’s he came to Earth and tries to rebuild his God Machine but it was destroyed by a nuclear bomb in 1947. This gave Vortex the powers he had wanted to give the people of all the planets and it created a real vortex in Nevada near Cinnibar Flats. It also released parts of the machine that gave powers to the people of earth like Ghost and her sister Margo Cameron.
