Who is Star Brand?

Origin The origins of Star Brand started with the White Event . The White Event happened as a result of the first Star Brand wielder's (known only as The Old Man ) attempt to place his brand on an asteroid. This user of the Brand was trying to get rid of the power because with it came a huge responsibility. When this happened, a huge array of energy was created, which bombarded the Earth and led to the mutation of a portion of Earth's population. After The Old Man's failed attempt to give his power to the asteroid he came to Earth, desperately searching for a patsy to whom he could transfer the Star Brand and the great power that it granted. The first person The Old Man encountered was Kenneth Connell, a normal mechanic living in Pittsburgh who was dirt biking at the time. The Old Man gave his power to Connell and so was born the second wielder of the Star Brand and main character of the series. Creation Star Brand was created by Jim Shooter and John Romita Jr .
