-While growing up in Brixton, London in the early 1960s, young Martin Chefwick was fascinated with stories about children who were transported to magical lands – from The Wizard of Oz to The Chronicles of Narnia. The strange, lonely boy was so enamored with these stories that he actually spent hours trying to find his way to Oz, Narnia, Wonderland and other fantasy realms, presumably in an attempt to escape his otherwise dreary life. As a result of his odd behavior, the socially-inept Martin was victimized by bullies and viewed as feeble-minded by his father, who could not recognize that his son was actually extremely bright, inquisitive, and well-read.
+While growing up in Brixton, London in the early 1960s, young Martin Chefwick was fascinated with stories about children who were transported to magical lands – from ''The Wizard of Oz'' to ''The Chronicles of Narnia''. The strange, lonely boy was so enamored with these stories that he actually spent hours trying to find his way to Oz, Narnia, Wonderland and other fantasy realms, presumably in an attempt to escape his otherwise dreary life. As a result of his odd behavior, the socially-inept Martin was victimized by bullies and viewed as feeble-minded by his father, who could not recognize that his son was actually extremely bright, inquisitive, and well-read.
 When Martin met Lucia, his red-headed neighbor, he was immediately smitten. But his feelings for Lucia blinded him to her true personality and motives: even as children, Lucia manipulated Martin and made him an unwitting accomplish to her petty crimes. As Martin grew older and accepted that the fantasy worlds from his childhood were not real, he threw himself into science; the study of math, physics, and engineering became his new escape. Lucia continued to use Martin, gleaning whatever scientific knowledge he was willing to share in order to make her burgeoning (and still secret) criminal enterprises easier.

-Unaware of Lucia’s true motives, Martin continued to pine for her romantically. In an attempt to impress Lucia, Chefwick took a job at a geological firm and spent three years creating an all-environment suit that would allow him to become a “daring adventurer” and explorer. When he learned that his firm had hired an accomplished diver to pilot his invention instead, he stole the suit. Now a fugitive, Chefwick modified the armor to embark on a life of crime as the Mock Turtle – a persona modeled after a character from Lewis Carroll’s ''Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland''.

 Though Chefwick joined forces with various English crimelords and clashed with superheroes such as [[The Lion]] and [[The Unicorn]], he always viewed himself as a dashing rogue and “hi-tech Robin Hood,” primarily stealing from the rich – and giving most of his ill-gotten gains to Lucia. When Lucia offered to become the Mock Turtle’s partner, the chivalrous Chefwick refused, insisting that she remain “innocent” and “pure." Frustrated, Lucia created her own secret identity -- the Red Queen -- and began building a small criminal empire. She even obtained the advanced Chessmen armor after the villains were defeated by Samaritan, and (as Lucia) convinced the still-clueless Martin to rebuild the suits.

 Chefwick wore a heavily-modified all-environment suit boasting several special abilities, including:
-Life-Support and Survival Gear: The Mock Turtle suit was originally designed for geological exploration and study in a wide range of environments, “from the stratosphere to the ocean floor.” The armor could withstand great pressure, such as those found in the ocean depths, and presumably included temperature regulation systems and a self-contained oxygen supply.

-Armor: Heavy armor – resembling a turtle’s shell – protected Chefwick’s back and chest, while a series of flexible armored plates covered his arms and legs. He also wore gauntlets, boots, kneepads, and a helmet with protective lenses. The armor protected Chefwick from collisions, energy and physical attacks, and even gunfire.

-Flight: Chefwick could fly by activating twin jets on the back of the Mock Turtle’s “shell.” The Mock Turtle armor was highly maneuverable in flight, could travel at high-speeds, and allowed Chefwick to cross the Atlantic and literally travel the globe.

-Underwater Travel: The Mock Turtle armor was especially well-suited to underwater exploration. Chefwick could easily reach the bottom of the Thames and survive underwater for extended periods of time. The suit's rockets enabled Chefwick to travel at high speeds underwater.

 When the Red Queen began threatening the territory of Chefwick’s allies, Clever Dick assigned Martin the task of tracking down and defeating her. Seeking Clever Dick’s respect, and still unaware that Lucia was in fact the [[Red Queen]], Chefwick agreed. He systematically dismantled the Red Queen’s operations and routed her forces, but when he visited Lucia to celebrate his "victory," she revealed her dual identity and attacked. Enraged that her schemes had been foiled, and tired of flirting with the naïve Chefwick, the Red Queen unleashed her enforcers – the newly-rebuilt Chessmen. She ordered them to kill the Mock Turtle and they relentlessly pursued him all over the world. Eventually, Chefwick fled to Astro City’s [[Kiefer Square]]. Assuming that the Chessmen were responsible for a recent string of neighborhood murders, ex-con [[Steeljack]] rallied the locals, who ambushed and soundly defeated the armored attackers.
