Vance Astrovik. Actually an alternate-reality version of Justice, who joined the space program instead of the Avengers, and was lost for centuries in suspended animation (much like Buck Rogers) before returning to Earth to help free the planet from the tyranny of the Baddoon. Displaced in time, he came back to fight

Actually, though, Marvel only says it all happened. In practice, it drops a lot of stuff that was once canon. Reed Richards was once only the third or fourth smartest guy in the Marvel U.
