Subsequently, he appeared in Might Of Guardian Prime Issue 1, which was produced by: Jide Martin, Michael Balogun, and the Ezeogu brothers (Ozo and Tobe). [1]

Jide Martin, in an interview with The Guardian , said of his motivation to create the character: "I saw that Nigeria was filled with so much negativity. This hero [was] designed to give us faith to see that our actions and words could indeed make a difference and throw a positive light on Nigeria to a global audience". [2]

Powers and abilities

Guardian Prime is described in the Comic Republic series as "Man, the way his creator intended him to be" and "The fifth element, one of the five essential elements for life to exist on Earth (Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Man-to stand guard over the others)". NACSS commander, Jade Waziri's information classifies him as a red class para human. [3]

He has invulnerability, super strength, flight, speed, enhanced senses, ability to intensify his body heat, and the ability to temporarily pass his invulnerability to any object he touches. Guardian Prime has immense strength and his notable feats of strength include carrying an Airbus aeroplane, ripping a helicopter into two, and he is able to carry an asteroid. He can fly at supersonic speeds, notably being able to fly from the sun back to the Earth in fifteen minutes. He can survive in space without the use of any breathing equipment. He can also intensify his body heat and create fire. Gaiya once said that he "can burn brighter than a blue star".

Guardian Prime has gone up against Eevruwih,the spirit of aggression.
