'''Captain Dan Myers''' is a survivor from an [[Alternate Realities#Asgard|Alternate Reality]] where the United States is a post-apocalyptic wasteland, transported here by a science experiment that went drastically wrong. His actions immediately after arrival caught the attention of the media, and of [[S.H.I.E.L.D]]: rather than risk the public learning about alternate realities, arrangements were made for Dan to assume the identity of his [[Daniel Myers|counterpart]], a Captain in the United States Air Force whom they had "reassigned" to S.H.I.E.L.D.
  
A public icon, '''Captain Dan Myers''' is California's newest and greatest superhero. Holding himself up as an icon of decency, good citizenship, and state pride, he sees himself as a role model to young mutants who have recently discovered their powers: and most importantly, unlike the criminals, vigilantes, and terrorists growing in numbers across the United States, he feels no need to hide who or what he is. He is an advocate of Mutant Registration.
+
Despite being presented to the public as a military officer, in reality Dan is a Captain in the National Hockey League of his home reality. After the mutant-caused disaster that caused the United States government to collapse, the Sacramento All-Stars became the nucleus of a resistance cell, which Myers led. In order to maintain the illusion that the "world's first superhero" is a serving USAF officer, Myers is being trained to "act" the part.
  
However, the truth is somewhat different from the public persona that the self-proclaimed "Captain California" presents. He is in fact a visitor from an alternate reality, who has merely assumed the identity of the real [[Daniel Myers]]. The military agency [[Vanguard]] is aware of his true identity, but for now they are content for him to keep his secret, even going to great lengths to help him maintain the charade; in exchange for as yet undisclosed return "favours" in the future.
+
== History ==
 +
A youth prodigy in the sport, Dan Myers broke numerous age and performance records during his early career. He was the youngest player to be top goal scorer in the Junior League while playing for the California Buccaneers and, after going professional with the Sacramento All-Stars, he became the youngest Captain in the history of the NHL. He was even rumoured to be the top choice as Captain for Team USA during the 2002 Winter Olympics.
  
As part of his cover, he is "officially" considered part of the Vanguard chain of command.
+
The Mutant Uprising on his world began in 2001 with the destruction of New York, followed quickly by most other major cities across the East Coast. When Washington D.C was destroyed the government collapsed, and with the military proving to be ineffective against the mutants and their abilities, the country quickly collapsed. In the aftermath, refugee cities and resistance networks formed; Myers and his team took it upon themselves to find and protect as many survivors as they could, and get them into the safety of one of the fortified cities.
  
<!-- -------------------- BEGINNING OF LEFT-COLUMN -------------------- -->

Myers eventually became part of the resistance based out of [[Vanaheim]], an underground refugee city-state located beneath Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. He became one of the foremost members of the resistance there, and was part of the [[Guardians]]: an elite team. During a raid on an enemy stronghold, Dan was caught in the blast wave when an artificial sun went supernova. The blast wave tore a hole in spacetime, but Dan managed to somehow survive, and was propelled into another reality.

|In his youth, Dan Myers was something of an NHL prodigy, breaking numerous age and performance records during his early career. A lifelong, avid fan of the California Buccaneers, he was confident - and arrogant - enough to refuse to play for any other professional NHL team. Ultimately his dream came true, and he found himself joining the C-Bucs as their new star centre. By 2000 he had been appointed team Captain, and was rumoured to have been the leading Team USA candidate for Captaincy during the 2002 Winter Olympics.
+
  
Unfortunately, the Mutant Uprising of 2001 occurred before he had the opportunity to shoulder that honour. Myers and his team were in Canada at the time, and became stranded when the borders were closed. As the revolution spread north, the C-Bucs found themselves in the middle of a Civil War: rather than rely on the military to fight the war for them - "The ''Canadian'' Army? Are you serious?" - Myers led his team into taking up arms, turning their hockey skills into warrior skills. His charismatic leadership not only helped the Buccaneers survive: it infected the local population as well, and inspired a full-blown resistance movement, who called themselves the Canada Buccaneers.
+
Having come from a world where mutant abilities were used openly and benevolently as a matter of daily life, Myers' actions of casual heroism caught the attention of the local media. Not yet aware of the fact that there was another him in this world, he made the ''faux pas'' of identifying himself by name: revealing [[Daniel Myers]]' mutant status to his wife, and to his superiors at the Air Force, from whom he had been hiding it. The "real" Myers dropped off the grid and, after being brought in by [[S.H.I.E.L.D]], arrangements were made for Dan to assume his identity, including his rank.
  
It was during this time that Myers' mutant ability manifested, and while it took several years, it ultimately proved to be his downfall. One of the biggest criticisms of Myers - both as a player and a freedom fighter - was his obsession with showboating. Rather than simply get the job done, he felt compelled to do so with style and flair; attracting the attention of more followers to the resistance cause yes, but also from the mutant leadership.
+
Dan joined the SHIELD Alpha Team - the [[Avengers]] - to be it's public face and spokesperson. Officially he is the team's leader, though unofficially leadership decisions in the field are made by the considerably more qualified [[John Lester]].
  
When his powers of gravity manipulation were brought to the attention of the mutant [[Jace Harriman (alternate)|Psion]], great lengths were taken to ensure his capture, and transport to a facility in the United States. A rescue effort was planned by members of [[Vanguard (alternate)|Vanguard]] - more as a means to deprive Psion of his prize than to actually rescue the Canadian hero.
+
== Family ==
  
The mission was a partial success: the team led by [[Tom Harriman (alternate)|T.J. Harriman]] did succeed in derailing Psion's plans, and preventing him from stealing Myers' powers; however, it did so by destroying the experimental device Psion was having built, and claiming Myers' life.
+
== Abilities ==
 +
Myers has the ability to reduce the effect of gravity on objects he is in contact with, including himself. This allows him to lighten and lift heavy objects; and to lighten himself so he can leap tall buildings in a single bound. He is not able to reduce the weight of an object to zero; nor is he able to reverse the effects of gravity.
  
Or at least, so it was believed.
+
Myers also makes use of a few items of alternate reality technology, including a pair of glasses that use backscatter x-rays for night vision and to see through objects; a pair of repulsor boots that allow him to "skate" a few inches above the ground; and a pair of energy gauntlets that fire focused blasts of bioelectric energy. The power source of these devices is unlike anything seen by S.H.I.E.L.D scientists however, and has led to considerable problems replicating and recharging his tech.

|Rather than being killed in the quantum singularity that the device's destruction caused, Myers was instead catapulted half-way across the continent, and into a parallel reality. Myers found himself in a world where a mutant uprising had never occurred, and where mutants were still a mistrusted minority: not as tyrannical overlords. Craving the adulation that he had experienced as a sportsman and a resistance hero, Myers chose to style himself as a superhero: something that until then, California had been lacking.
+
  
Of course, he didn't truely consider the implications of his actions - such as the fact that there was already a [[Daniel Myers]] in existance in the alternate reality. Overconfidence compelling him to use his real name, the military agency [[Vanguard]] quickly saw through his deception, and moved to apprehend both the extradimensional intruder and his local doppelganger.
+
== Out of Character ==
  
Having already established himself as a popular hero in Los Angeles, Vanguard felt that it would be a political mistake to make the overnight celebrity disappear, particularly in light of recent events. Instead, it was proposed that Vanguard would assist Myers in maintaining the illusion that he was in fact the Daniel Myers of this reality: in return for his assistance - without question - should they ever request it. In order to make Myers' disguise foolproof, his local doppelganger was removed from the equation, and his memories were transferred into alternate Myers' mind.
 
 
Myers was allowed to return to his life as a superhero in Los Angeles, but now has to live with the knowledge that his selfishness and arrogance caused the death of an innocent man, husband, and father: a man who he has to spend every day pretending to be.

|'''Gravity Manipulation''' - Like many pairings of alternate reality doppelgangers, the two versions of Daniel Myers have connected but opposite abilities. While the "real" Daniel is able to increase the effect of gravity on any object he touches (including himself), the alternate Daniel Myers is able to reduce it until his weight is effectively zero. This allows him to create the appearence of various classic and cliché superhero powers: he is able to lighten an object to simulate super strength, and reduce his own weight to jump great distances or leap tall buildings in a single bound. By lightening himself he can simulate feats of agility, and is even able to levitate by reducing his own weight to zero, though he is unable to create the thrust necessary to fly.

Captain Dan Myers is a survivor from an Alternate Reality where the United States is a post-apocalyptic wasteland, transported here by a science experiment that went drastically wrong. His actions immediately after arrival caught the attention of the media, and of S.H.I.E.L.D: rather than risk the public learning about alternate realities, arrangements were made for Dan to assume the identity of his counterpart, a Captain in the United States Air Force whom they had "reassigned" to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Despite being presented to the public as a military officer, in reality Dan is a Captain in the National Hockey League of his home reality. After the mutant-caused disaster that caused the United States government to collapse, the Sacramento All-Stars became the nucleus of a resistance cell, which Myers led. In order to maintain the illusion that the "world's first superhero" is a serving USAF officer, Myers is being trained to "act" the part.

He was even rumoured to be the top choice as Captain for Team USA during the 2002 Winter Olympics.

The Mutant Uprising on his world began in 2001 with the destruction of New York, followed quickly by most other major cities across the East Coast. When Washington D.C was destroyed the government collapsed, and with the military proving to be ineffective against the mutants and their abilities, the country quickly collapsed. In the aftermath, refugee cities and resistance networks formed; Myers and his team took it upon themselves to find and protect as many survivors as they could, and get them into the safety of one of the fortified cities.

Myers eventually became part of the resistance based out of Vanaheim, an underground refugee city-state located beneath Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. He became one of the foremost members of the resistance there, and was part of the Guardians: an elite team. During a raid on an enemy stronghold, Dan was caught in the blast wave when an artificial sun went supernova. The blast wave tore a hole in spacetime, but Dan managed to somehow survive, and was propelled into another reality.
