I. The Ancient Past: Wars, The First Five, and Canman's Origins (2100 – 2130 AD)
January 1, 2100: The Muman War officially begins.
During the Muman War (The Shadow Invasion): An army of alien monsters called the "Shadowclan" invades Earth to convert it for their dark god, Umbra, led by the Baron.
During this period, the legendary First Five (comprising The Mind, Starfighter, Terrapin, Queen of Hearts, and Mystic Knight) emerge.
They make the ultimate sacrifice to stop the Shadow Invasion and simultaneously bring an end to the Muman War. Their heroic actions become a source of inspiration for future generations.
January 20, 2100: The Muman War concludes, having lasted 20 days.
Late January 2100: Cammy Hampton (who will later become "Canman") is born a Muman shortly after the war's end. Following the war, Mumans are officially outlawed by the government.

Captain Rocket is sent on a mission to stop the mad scientist, Dr. Bolt, from making a doomsday weapon to sell to Yugoslavia. He succeeds but discovers the weapon is the man's own daughter.
