Carter was faced with a dilemma in which he and his sister had little funds to provide the necessary treatment for their mother, who had been diagnosed with a degenerative illness.

Carter was able to secure a job as a security at the Metropolis Space Museum and studied the exploits of superheroes in the 20th century.
