One day, he witnessed a robbery by two kids who were trying to join the Golden Lords. While defending his neighborhood from an attacking gang, Jefferson Reed was hit by a meteorite. When he woke up in the hospital, he found he had developed weird superhuman abilities, which he then used to fight for justice, Superhuman Strength, Super Speed, Healing Power, Flight, X-Ray Vision, Invulnerability, Laser Vision, Freezing Breath, Imbue Fertility, Telekinesis, Zoopathy: He can communicate telepathically with dogs.

Both men try to avoid getting drained of their powers and need constant exposure to a meteor fragment or they will lose their powers. Jefferson absorbed the energies in Simon and defeated them. When Simon was defeated, Anthony and his men show up to finish the job as the Bloods and the Crips come to Meteor Man's side. Anthony and his men plan to "take a vacation in the Bahamas." Just then, the police arrive and arrest the bad guys.
