History:
A Navy lieutenant on his first command, William Storm and his vessel, PT-47, were ambushed by a bloodred Japanese submarine. Wounded early in the assault, Storm was thrown into the water and watched helplessly as his ship was sunk and his crew slaughtered to the last man.

Though he had lost his left leg at the knee as a result of his wounds, Storm was determined to remain in the Navy. Outfitted with a wooden leg and training with the help of a nurse who was also his commander's daughter, Storm finally demonstrated he had what it took to be recommissioned.

Despite numerous victories, his reputation as a skipper who had lost his ship and crew followed him everywhere and cast a pallor over his career. Returning from a long furlough, Storm found himself with no new assignment waiting. While stranded thus, Storm made the acquaintance of Air Force pilot Johnny Cloud and two Marines nicknamed Gunner and Sarge. At the suggestion of Military High Command, these four joined forces to become a detached service task force code-named the Losers.

During one mission, Storm attempted to save a church full of innocent people and was caught in the resulting explosion. When the other Losers could not find his body, Storm was presumed dead for several months, until he surfaced once more in the guise of a modern-day pirate who had been attacking Axis shipping. Storm had lost only his right eye and his memory in the explosion, not his life. With the help of the other Losers, Storm regained his memory and returned to active duty.

Regrettably, Captain Storm and the other Losers were killed in action in the final days of the Second World War.

Powers:
Captain Storm possessed no special abilities, save for an indomitable will that enabled him to overcome his physical disabilities and the quality of natural leadership.

A superb athlete despite his handicaps, Storm was also a highly trained hand-to-hand combatant.
