History Circa late 1976 or early 1977, during the First Family's Ring of Worlds inter-dimensional adventure, an entity know only as Qestoth Sul informed Dr. Furst of a powerful weapon that was hidden on Earth centuries ago. Upon their return, they went to an island where among the ancient, perhaps even alien ruins, they discovered the Innocent Gun. Their first instincts were to return it to their lab to study it, reverse engineer it and perhaps discover its power source and how it worked. Fortunately, Simon Magus somehow sensing that the powerful device had been unearthed, appeared on the island to warn Dr. Furst of the weapon's purpose and potential danger. He advised that Dr. Furst keep it in a safe place for many now sought it, including The Demonwaves, evil creatures who where already approaching the island, lusting for the device to use as a weapon of ultimate destruction. it has been kept safely at First Family's Headquarters, until 1982 when the Pyramid Organization stole it the night before the Silver Agent's big return.
