[2] Thomas John McCall is an average, underachieving 16-year-old when he swallows a vial of top secret genetic material in his father's lab.

Thomas later assumes the identity of Badrock, after being recruited to join the high-profile, government superteam Youngblood.

[5] Many of Badrock's non-Youngblood adventures involve his parents, Dr. Joseph McCall and mother Angela, with whom he has a close and loving relationship.

[6] Badrock's adventures involve threats to national security, such as Youngblood rescuing (what seems to be) Vice President Dan Quayle from the WildC.A.T.s.

Badrock is part of a vital effort of keeping reality from duplicating itself in the Shattered Image limited series.

[10] Around this time, his teammate Riptide is found murdered in her bedroom; Badrock is part of the group that takes custody of her seeming killer, Knightsabre.

The continued attempts of the Katellans to reacquire the defector Combat lead to the destruction of Earth, Katella, and Acura in Badrock's timeline.

[14] While being interviewed for the Daily Bugle, Badrock teams up with Spider-Man to take on Spidey's villains, thanks to the illusions of Mysterio.

In the series Prophet, which takes place millennia in the future, Badrock has grown to immense size and has become a planet.

He has a number of children, including one called Brainrock who tries to become a planet as well, but only reaches the size of a tiny moon.
