Thomas Evans[1] (b. 10 March 1963)[2] was a Canadian superhero, astronaut, and law enforcement officer of the 20th century. Canuck was known for having saved the Earth multiple times over from communist, fascist, and extraterrestrial threats across space and time.
Evans and his brother Mike joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police together, and subsequently the Canadian International Security Organization,[3] while it was still in its early stages and known only to the Canadian government.[4] One night, Evans went camping with a group of boys and encountered a group of aliens.[3] Nyro-Ka accidentally endowed Evans with enhanced abilities during the course of the experiment,[5] granting the C.I.S.O. agent doubled strength and reflexes that impressed his superiors.[3]
