Biography[]
Ancient Egypt[]
Centuries ago in Ancient Egypt, Carter was a reincarnation of the Prince Khufu and is in love with High Priestes Chay-Ara, who loves him back. But someone else had his eye on the fair priestess, Hath-Set (later known as, Vandal Savage), but Chay-Ara's love was only for the Khufu. Consumed with jealousy, he had both the prince and Priestess murdered. During the attempted murder, all three of them were exposed to a mutative element during a meteor shower, which was actually a product of futuristic technology from the planet Thanagar; as a result, Chay-Ara and Khufu were reincarnated each time they died until they finish their ancient arch-enemy.
