Jefferson Reed is a mild mannered school teacher in Washington D.C. His neighbourhood is plagued by the local gang The Golden Lords, drug dealers who terrorise the locals. One night Jeff steps in to rescue a woman from the gang, only to end up running from them himself. Hiding in a garbage dumpster, he manages to escape, but as he climbs out of it, he is struck down by a glowing green meteorite which crashes down from the sky. His spine is crushed and he receives severe burns. He awakens several days later in hospital, but when his bandages are taken off, he is miraculously healed from all his injuries.

Jeff soon discovers the meteorite has left him with other abilities too, such as flight and superhuman strength. Confiding this to his parents, he is convinced by them to use his powers to try and help his community. His mother designs a costume for him, and as Meteor Man, he takes on the Golden Lords and their leader Simon Caine.
