His service ended during his command of a Zero X mission to Mars when he fired upon the Mysteron City, beginning the Mysteron War. Thereafter, Black was used by the Mysterons as an indestructable agent in their efforts to retaliate against humanity for the attack. (PROSE: Rogues Gallery) Varying accounts dated Spectrum's founding and the ensuing conflict to either the 2060s (COMIC: SPECTRUM et al.) or the 2080s. (PROSE: 'Jinx Ship' Blasts Off For Mars et al.)
Biography
Earlier life
Turner was born in Denver in the United States of America. According to an account which dated the Mysteron War to the 2080s, his birthday was 31 October 2049. He later joined the World Space Patrol. As a colonel, he flew the first XL craft and made extensive study of Astran culture.
In 2081, Turner was attatched to the Solar System Exploration Centre for a survey mission to Mercury. In 2086, Turner was recruited to Spectrum as its first field agent, becoming Captain Black. (PROSE: Rogues Gallery)
Mission to Mars
In either June of 2067 (PROSE: Capt. Black Mars Expedition Lost!) or 2087, (PROSE: Rogues Gallery) Black commanded a Zero X expedition to Mars in order to investigate the "strange radio signals" (PROSE: Capt. Black Mars Expedition Lost!, 'Jinx Ship' Blasts Off For Mars) received from the Rock Snake Hills area over the previous year. (PROSE: Capt. Black Mars Expedition Lost!)
Upon reaching the planet, Black proceeded to investigate the Mysteron City. In a moment of panic, he opened fire on the city, (PROSE: Rogues Gallery) thus beginning the Mysteron War. (PROSE: 'Jinx Ship' Blasts Off For Mars, Rogues Gallery) On 2 September 2067, TV 21 stated that Glenn Field had reported the loss of Black's expedition, with the publication speculating that "whatever was causing the signals" had "accounted" for Black and his crew. In the same article, TV 21 also speculated about the secret organisation with World Government backing that Black apparently belonged to, noting that the "strange floating aircraft carrier" recently sighted above Nice bore the same symbol as Black's hat. (PROSE: Capt. Black Mars Expedition Lost!)
However, Zero X, with Black onboard, returned to Earth on 23 September 2067. As the massive craft descended towards the Glenn Field runway, the small passenger jet TGW 197 K, carring TV 21 reporters Pete Tracker and Lens Sharpe, collided with one of its engines, causing it to crash. In the confusion, Black exited Zero X and left the base in a car, vanishing without trace. (COMIC: SPECTRUM, PROSE: SPECTRUM is Green) Colonel White, head of Spectrum, initially suspected Tracker and Sharpe of orchestrating some kind of plot but his fears were allayed and they were eventually able to convince him to take part in an interview. (COMIC: SPECTRUM) Tracker later detailed Black's return and subsequent disappearance in his article about Spectrum which unveiled them as the newest security organisation. (PROSE: SPECTRUM is Green)
