Squadron Sinister Hyperion (Zhib-Ran) and the Squadron Sinister are assembled by the
Grandmaster to battle the champions of
Kang the Conqueror. The
Avengers defeat the Squadron and the Grandmaster, with
Thor trapping Hyperion in a glass sphere. The Squadron reappears in
Defenders, where its members are reunited by
Nebulon. Hyperion later battles Thor once again and encounters his Earth-712 counterpart. He becomes involved with
Thundra, but the relationship ends when she returns to her own dimension. The Earth-712
Master Menace transports Hyperion to his universe and informs him that he is a clone created by the Grandmaster. The Squadron Sinister Hyperion impersonates the Squadron Supreme Hyperion, who later kills him. The Grandmaster briefly resurrects Hyperion as part of the
Legion of the Unliving to combat the Avengers.
Squadron Supreme (Earth-712) Hyperion, also known as
Mark Milton, is a founding member of his reality's
Squadron Supreme and the last known
Eternal on his Earth. Following the societal instability caused by
Overmind's takeover of Earth, Hyperion and the Squadron assume control of the
United States government. Hyperion becomes trapped in an inter-dimensional zone and is impersonated by the Squadron Sinister Hyperion (Zhib-Ran). Hyperion defeats Zhib-Ran, but is blinded in the fight. Hyperion and the members of the Squadron Supreme are exiled to
Earth-616. The team encounters the hero
Quasar and take up residence at
Project Pegasus, where
Makkari restores his sight. The Squadron members later return to their universe, where they overthrow a corrupt government that replaced them in their absence. During the "
Civil War II" event, Hyperion is killed when Earth-712 is destroyed in an Incursion, a collision with another universe.
Supreme Power This Hyperion was sent to Earth in a spacecraft, and seized shortly after by U.S. government agents who raised him in a tightly controlled, isolated environment. As an adult, he became a covert agent used in strict secrecy, but eventually a reporter came too close to the truth, and the decision was made to make his existence public, largely so he could be used as a distraction from the government's even more closely guarded secret super-operative
Joe Ledger. As Hyperion discovers that he has been systematically lied to his entire life, he becomes disillusioned with the government and eventually openly rebels. In the
Supreme Power: Hyperion miniseries, a hastily assembled team of superhumans is sent by the government to retrieve Hyperion. In the resulting battle, an interaction of Hyperion's "flash vision" eye-beams,
Nuke's radiation blast, and Arcanna's reality manipulation sends the combatants to an alternate future where Hyperion and the Squadron Supreme rule a
dystopian world. Hyperion rethinks his ideas about power, humanity, and teamwork, leading him to surrender to the Squadron from his world. Along with the rest of his team, save Nighthawk, Hyperion is killed by the
Cabal during an Incursion.
Squadron Supreme (Earth-616) This Hyperion was sent to Earth as a baby, the only survivor of a race of
Eternals from a dying world. He was raised by a man named "Father", who named him Marcus Milton and taught him the morals of society. As an adult, Milton becomes the superhero Hyperion and joins the Squadron Supreme. After his universe is destroyed in an Incursion, Hyperion is rescued by
A.I.M. scientists and transported to Earth-616. Hyperion is held captive by A.I.M. until he is freed by the Avengers and joins their ranks.
Squadron Supreme of America A variation of Hyperion appears as a member of the Squadron Supreme of America. This version is a
simulacrum created by
Mephisto who was programmed to possess the strength of an Eternal. As a civilian, he works as a history teacher at Buscema High School in
Kensington, Maryland. ==Powers and abilities==
