Ragneron's alter-ego is Chris Smith, an openly gay fitness instructor. Smith received his superpowers after he was given powers by a galactic crystal that he touched after it fell from outer space to earth. After his transformation, the United States government sought him out due to the powers bestowed on him from the crystal. Subsequently, Algor, his nemesis, began to hunt for him as well as those who came into contact with the evil crystal.

Milan seeks to provide readers with thought provoking storylines, aiming to provide the reader with material to contemplate the moral and ethical questions behind homosexuality.[2]
