In 1919, identical twin brothers Michael and Lance Gallant were born in New York City and both possessed T-shaped birthmarks on their left wrists. The boys remained close growing up. Later, during the Second World War, Michael enlisted in the Air Force as a pilot. Unfortunately, on his his 23rd birthday, he died when his hanger exploded. Kim Meredith, his fiancée, and his brother, Lance, saw the tragedy and grabbed Michael from the flames, only to have him die in his brother's arms. Lance wanted vengeance. The Fates of Greek Mythology witnessed Michael's death and decided to turn Lance into their champion. Soon, Lance is visited by Michael's ghost, who told his brother they were still linked. So, Lance decides to call himself Captain Triumph and become a crime-fighter.

He was assisted once by his sidekick, Biff, who dressed like a clown.

Captain Triumph's enemies included Baron Bragg, Colonel Fishama, Dr. Marfree, Hypnotic Eyes Khor, King the Jack of All Trades, Krogar, Mr. Pointer, Mr. Weary, Porcupine, Raffrey, Raven, Silent, Silvertip, Sitok the Green God of Evil, Supremo, Spade the Ruthless, Yorvey the Tyrant of Toar Valley, Vanishing Vandals, and Vyra Gallant.

*If Lance touched his birthmark, the brothers would merge and gain superpowers. When merged, Captain Triumph's powers included superhuman strength, endurance, flight, invulnerability, and invisibility.
**Touching the mark a second time would separate them. Michael (as a ghost) was intangible and could turn invisible.

*Crack Comics #27-62

*Although the first Captain Triumph story was published in late 1942 and established Michael and Lance Gallant being born in 1919, ''Crack Comics'' #53's story shows Michael Gallant's tombstone with the years "1917-1945" instead.
