Horatio Strong is naturally stronger than most men, but discovered a strange sea weed called "sauncha ". This gave him even more superhuman strength. He decided to use his powers for good. The sea weed (actually has extraterrestrial origin) had a drug-like effect on him: it gave him "severe withdrawal pains " and made him irrational (to a dangerous level). He went on rampage, but was stopped by Superman. After being in a hospital, he swore to never use the sauncha again and use normal vegetables to keep strong. He became a friend of Clark Kent and Superman (not realizing the duo were the same person).
