Dr. Spectrum used to be an astronaut, adventurer and something of a playboy. On one of his space missions he saved the life of a benevolent alien of the Skrull race later known as the Skrullurian Skymaster. In gratitude for rescuing him, the Skrull gave Joe Ledger the Power Prism, an energy synthesizer his people had created.

Dr. Spectrum has the similar relationships to the other Squadron members as the Green Lantern character has to other members of the Justice League of America. His best friends are Golden Archer (based on Green Arrow) and the Whizzer (based on the Flash).

The Squadron implemented a Utopia project in the wake of their world being devastated by the Overmind. During that period the distraught former Squadron member known as Nuke was killed in a fight with Dr. Spectrum and his best friend, Golden Archer, about the Utopia project. Both events turned Dr. Spectrum's character into a more serious one.

At last note, Dr. Spectrum and a reformed Squadron were fighting to free their world from a global dictatorship which had taken it over while the team was stranded in the main Marvel Universe.
