Once a teacher on the planet Malecandarea (or in human language, "Mars")
Chozz' Xov'ier is the last survivor of a race once respected throughout
the galaxy, but now barely remembered. The Martian race was known for
their uncanny abilities, abscent in other races. While the martians were
generally a peace loving race, one member, Xov'ier's half brother, Caa'
Malfco found these abilities lacking in himself. In a jealous rage, Malfco
swore to destroy his people by any means necessary.
For years, he managed to keep himself, even from his own brother, but not forever.
One day, while the two served together in a war to which they'd been drafted against a small but violent sect of martians who believed it was their duty to rule the rest of the galaxy, Malfco' stumbled upon a temple containing an stone which, according to legend, held the essence of the martian god of fire, keeper of the unstoppable flame. Upon taking the stone, Malfco' failed to continue blocking his thoughts, which allowed Xov'ier to raise his own mental defenses, blocking the mindfire, but he was not quick enough to stop his brother who released it to the rest of the world, killing every last man, woman and child. With only one clean mind to turn to as they died, every last martian cried to Xov'ier for help, including his wife and children. This mental overload caused Xov'ier's mind to shut off, leaving him catatonic. Thinking his brother dead with the rest of their race, Malfco' laughed at his people's misfortune and then committed suicde.
However, Xov'ier wasn't dead, but he wasn't fully alive either. And so there he stayed for an unknown time until by chance, a scientist on earth, trying to create a matter teleportation device managed to accidentally transport his seeming lifeless body to earth. The scientist recognized that what he had was a lifeform like none on earth. After years, he managed to nurse the creature back to health, and eventually, when the creature had recovered even more, the two managed to become friends. Xov'ier learned much about earth culture, but was concerned by their xenophobia. With his dying last breath, the scientist, having no heir, asked Xov'ier to use his powers to take his form and memories and continue his work in seeking a safe interstellar travel device to promote inter- special harmony throughout the galaxy. Xov'ier agreed and continues to this day to try to perfect the device. However, he realized that mere travel was not enough and formed the Justice League Xeno to promote peace and unity among the races and to offer a safe haven and learning center for aliens on earth, just as the old scientist had done for him.
While his shapeshifting and telepathy do make him powerful, Xov'ier is unable to move well in earth's high gravity and must remain in a mobility chair.
