With eyes that emit alpha waves Johnny
Alpha is the most feared search and destroy agent in the galaxy. The
initials S and D for search and destroy became the basis for the nickname of
'Strontium Dog'.
Johnny's body had been warped from birth by a shower
of Strontium 90, a radioactive isotope that is present after a nuclear
explosion. The isotope can be absorbed into the human body leaving mutations.
Johnny Alpha was left with mutations that gave him powerful alpha rays,
which are a type of X-Ray vision. However, because of
their mutant status and appearance the 'Strontium Dogs' were shunned by
society and found it difficult to get employment except for the jobs that
were beneath the 'norms' such as search and destroy agents.
With an array of weapons and gadgetry
including a 'Time Drougue' which enabled him to turn back time long
enough to question a dead fugitive, Johnny Alpha struck fear into the hearts
of fugitives and criminals throughout the galaxy.
Johnny Alpha was ably accompanied by his friend Wulf
Sternhammer, a Viking warrior, who bad been brought forward into the future
by Johnny after saving Wulf's life.
