Powers
- His powers include super-strength, flight, and near invulnerability (he has been able to enter a lava flow to deactivate a volcano). His eyes are constructed to concentrate solar energy into laser like blasts. Apollo can also release energy in a sort of omni-directional blast, but this move is taxing.
- Like Superman, Apollo's powers are dependent on the Sun. His body was altered to store and convert solar energy to power his abilities, which disappear or weaken if his solar reserves are low. Inversely, his powers also increase the more energy he has absorbed. Apollo can drain himself through overuse of his powers since living on the Carrier does not provide him with a constant exposure to solar energy. However, even when drained he will be able to operate after 20 seconds in direct sunlight, though it would take him 1 minute to be able to fly and 2 hours to be at full charge.
- He can survive in anaerobic environments for a short period, by the simple method of not breathing.
- Apollo has been described a number of times as a Majestic-Class superhuman.

History
Apollo was a former U.S. soldier and the leader of a black ops Stormwatch team so secret that no-one but the first Weatherman, Henry Bendix, knew of its existence. Apollo was a normal human, bio-engineered by Bendix to have fantastic abilities including super-strength, heat vision, and a high degree of invulnerability. Apollo derives his power from solar energy, and becomes vulnerable to attack when that energy is depleted.
Of the seven-member team, only Apollo and The Midnighter, Apollo's future husband, survived. Due to circumstances surrounding the mission, they went rogue and spent the next five years undercover fighting for a finer world in the alleyways of America.
After Bendix's fall in 1998, Christine Trelane discovered files hinting at the existence of Apollo and The Midnighter. Jackson King, formerly Battalion, now the new Weatherman, ordered them found, not being sure if they were heroes or villains. Apollo and Midnighter were after weapons made in the "Nevada Garden", a leftover of the first Engineer. He ordered Fahrenheit and Hellstrike to tag them with fetishes so they could be transported into SkyWatch. Apollo and Midnighter first attacked the Stormwatch team, believing them under Bendix's orders. However, they ceased the attack once they were told Bendix was dead. With King's help, they destroyed the Nevada Garden, and Trelane gave them new lives away from Stormwatch.
