The nine planets, sun, moon, and white stars decorated the black suit, and on the back was the huge globe representing the yellow planet, with a blue stream across the planet. The planet was unknown to the galaxy. The Universe Lord named it the Alpha Planet.

The man with the blue eyes wore the black suit, which had a blazing "G" letter splashed across the image of Earth.

He hovered outside the Earth's atmosphere, daring the light to come closer. The orb of light, yellow like Earth's sun, shone with a hot red flame-like lava inside the volcano. He heard a voice coming out of the light. "From now on, you will be called 'G-man'."

This is where our superhero embraced his responsibility to be the saviour of mankind.

18 years ago, a huge space pod settled on the sands near the edge of a beach in India.Inside the pod was a mini chamber where a young woman in her early 20s was pacing back and forth, carrying a baby born a couple of minutes ago. The woman was brown-skinned, with black shining long hair, biting her thin red lips. She had a divine and beautiful face like those actresses who appeared in movies with their heroes, to play the parts of young lovers. She wore a white plain bodysuit, a blazing pink "S" on her chest.

The newborn boy was small, cute, and the length of him reached from her beautiful, brown-skinned palms to her forearms. The baby boy had the same brown skin like his mother, except for his blue eyes and pupils. Two girls slept nearby, born at the same time as the boy. The mother kept the triplets for eight months inside her womb, one month earlier than normal.

A glare shone from the white, cream, and pink walls, the same colour as the seashell for the woman to sleep in, and three smaller ones for the triplets. Remarkable and strange types of furniture filled the room: a dressing table made not with wood, but with metal and glass, a hologram 3D mirror, a wardrobe with see-through doors, a small bedside table, and seashell-shaped chairs. A window like a bubble of ice was set on either end of the pod.

The baby girls lay in their seashells, their skin perfect while the baby boy was born with a birthmark resembling the letter G on his bare chest. His mother had wrapped him in a comfy, wool, black blanket. One girl was wrapped in a green blanket, and the other daughter was wrapped in a red blanket. The mother was trying her best to put her infant son to sleep, giving him a slight peck on his forehead. The little toddler wiggled his body and tears came out of his eyes. He cuddled in his mother's arms, and she responded by cuddling her tired son closer to her, to make him feel warm in his mother's arms. Then she started to have a flashback of a time when she once lived in a castle, with her father, and her brother, also her sister-in-law, on the Alpha Planet.

S-Woman was born on the planet with the landscape of yellow sands on the surface, matching the sky, clouds and two suns. At night appeared a full blue moon orbiting in the sky.

S-Woman was a princess and her father, K-King, was the ruler of the planet. Her brother was Z-Man, but he once travelled to a planet where they renamed him Zed, so then furthermore he chose to use the name Zed. Z/Zed had a wife born with the name Z-D, but after her marriage, she was known as Z-Queen.

S-Woman was born not far from the river where no sea creatures swam. On the riverbank prowled man-eating vicious predators, land sharks called Erasers, which looked scary and right out of a horror movie. The Erasers had big sharp razor teeth in their jaws, greyish skin, and legs as bulky and strong as a human's. They feasted on the flesh of animals such as unicranes, beasts like reindeers with a single horn on their forehead. The Erasers could attack their prey instantly, which their prey didn't expect. However, they kept away from attacking the other side of the river, because they were afraid and weak of the blue water. This kept the Erasers away from K-King's town.
