Background

Spartan was born Yohn Kohl, a flesh and blood Kherubim and member of the Pantheon class on Khera. Yohn was trained as a warrior from birth. He was respected as a war lord and warrior that to honor him the Kherubim created the Spartan Guards, using his likeness as the template.

In the 1930s Yohn took up the name John Colt and became a American Hero and Adventurer. His Kherubim physiology didn’t gift him with the greater abilities of a Kherubim Lord such as Mr. Majestic, so he could easily be considered an above-average human. As his abilities were no more then anyone could gain if they trained, persevered, believed in themselves, and believed in the nation. Therefore he was believed to be a normal patriot serving his country. The pinnacle of what a soldier could be, a super soldier. Because of this he would eventually be chosen as a member of Team One.

In the early 1960s a Daemonite named Helspont made a move against humanity. He wanted to start a nuclear war, leaving the planet empty for Daemonites to rule. Lord Emp, a Kherubim, created Team One to combat Helspont and the villains he had working for him. The team was made up of a majority of Kherubim and it was around this time that he and the Kherubim Lucy Blaze had a brief relationship and produced a child, who would one day become the Stormwatch operative Winter.

The team fought Helspont for control of the American nuclear missiles he was going to use to implement his plan. The team was outnumbered and John fought an entire legion of Daemonites on his own, but he couldn’t hold them off and they would stop Regiment who was trying to disarm the bomb, if they got by him. John was surrounded by the Daemonites but couldn’t stop them, and he ordered Majestic to use his laser vision to kill them. Majestic reluctantly relented, in which his laser incinerated John in the process.[1] Even though the missile launched, John’s sacrifice was not entirely in vain as the missile was destroyed by Regiment as it took off. After that the team disbanded.

John was not truly dead, as before his death, Emp copied John’s personality and possibly his memories, in the hopes that he could download it to a prototype Spartan android later. In the 1990s Emp had perfected the android body and started the team that would be known as the WildC.A.T.s. The android went by the code designation of Spartan after the name of guards used on Khera, as well as the android technical designation of Hadrian. Spartan became the leader of the team, but his transference to the android body didn’t take as well as would have been thought: he had no memories of his prior life or Team One and even though he had Yohn Kohl/John Colt’s personality, he was emotionless and acted as a robot would. With the development of the team, Spartan too developed, he even engaged in a relationship with his teammate Voodoo and his personality started to show more when the team wasn’t in battle.

The team eventually would go on a mission to stop Daemonites trying to reactivate their crashed ship. In doing so they came across the Kherubim ship they had crashed in so long ago. It wasn’t until the team got on the ship that they found out it was rigged to explode, to protect Earth from the blast they flew the ship into orbit and was to believed to have died. Spartan lived but was severely damaged. He was found and repaired by Stormwatch and became a member of their team until he was destroyed.

In truth, it was found that the WildC.A.T.s survived and had actually used the hyperdrive of the ship to travel to Khera. There they found out that the war with the Daemonites was over thousands of years ago and that the Kherubim had won. Ever prepared Emp had used a backup disk containing the memory/personality of Spartan to implant Spartan in a more powerful body using advanced Kherubim science and he acted as Emp’s personal bodyguard. It was Spartan who came across the plot the Coda had to make a martyr of Zealot, and in the ensuing investigation he was almost destroyed, but he was saved by the team and repaired. After becoming disgusted and disenchanted at what Khera was, they returned to Earth.

Their mission after returning had them go to Gamorra Island to stop the dictator Kaizen Gamorra during the Fire from Heaven event. It was then discovered that Kaizen Gamorra was the real John Colt whose body had been healed and sent to replace the captured Kaizen Gamorra. After battling Spartan the real John Colt was dethroned and killed for a second time by Majestic. Interestingly enough John Colt’s personality and memories were finally activated in Spartan and he began to go by that name.

After repelling the Knights of Khera’s invasion, Spartan became essential to the rebuilding of Earth and he proposed marriage to Voodoo.
