In 1940, Jack Dawson (later "Ted") was horseback riding in the Wyoming prairie when he noticed Dr. Morgan (later "Dr. Martin") burying an alien near his spaceship. Jack offered to help the man bury the being and was told by Morgan of his ship he built and his trip into space and back with his alien assistant Kagah. Seeing Dawson thirsty from his labor, the doctor gives Dawson a drink that makes him fall asleep. While out Dr. Morgan puts him in the space cruiser and launches Jack above the "Heaviside" layer of the Earth, he awoke finding himself in space.

Jack reads a note from Dr. Morgan informing him that he was exposed to "Astro-Pyro Radiation" above the Heaviside layer. The radiation would not only rejuvenate him but, also give him super powers.

He soon got a sidekick, Spark (later "Sparkie" and/or "Sparky").

The heroes teamed-up with the Boy Heroes on several occasions.

Captain Red Blazer and Sparkie are able to fly and generate/control heat and flames.
