Samaritan was born in the 35th Century.  He was selected to try to reverse the downward spiral that human kind had fallen into bytravelling back in time to the late 20th Century and avert a particular event: the destruction of the Space Shuttle Challenger in January of 1986.

An unforseen side effect of his journey through time gave him great powers.  The time it took to learn how to control these powers, though, prevented him from entering society and affecting change from within.  He used his speed, flight, strength, and empyrean web powers to save the shuttle.   Identifying himself only as a good samaritan, Samaritan became his nom de guerre.  

Since then he has continued to work to save humanity, and working out of Astro City, has become one of Earth's greatest heroes.
