History[]
The Missing Link was a wild man discovered, captured and brought to Britain by explorer Bull Belson, who hoped to make a fortune by exhibiting him. The Neanderthal-like Link caused havoc for some weeks before wandering into a nuclear reactor (as you do) and emerging as the super-evolved, super-powered Johnny Future, who fought for justice seemingly because he had powers and nothing better to do!
According to a fairly recent account, Johnny had himself placed in suspended animation in 1989 when he began to evolve into a more dangerous form; released in 2020 in order to fight off an alien invasion, he began to evolve again, but was returned to his original form as the Missing Link and calmed down by the reformed criminal called the Animal Man. Returned to suspended animation, he awaits the day when his friends in the scientific community can cure his condition and bring Johnny Future back for good.
