Stormy Foster was a “soda jerk” and assistant clerk in a pharmacy, Vaughan’s Cut Rate Drugs, located in a city somewhere in California. The pharmacy was run by the elderly Dr. Vaughan. Stormy was his meek but loyal right-hand man, until he discovered a vitamin that, when ingested, would give superhuman strength. He used this vitamin to become the superhero known as the Great Defender. He was occasionally assisted by Ah Choo, a horribly stereotypical Chinese-American boy who worked nearby. After Foster got his powers, he continued to work for Dr. Vaughan, who rarely questioned his assistant’s tendency to disappear for several hours at a time. He was also a delivery man, a cashier, and whatever else Dr. Vaughan needed him to be to keep the business running. When Stormy took the power-giving vitamin, he gained the strength, speed, and endurance of ten men. The effect wore off after a certain period of time, but the original stories were never consistent about how long that would take.
