Ace Powers a.k.a. U7
Ace Dakota Powers is a fictional character in both earth and outer space settings who is but one of the protagonists of the Heroes of the Last Q Superheroes social-science fiction action comics’ series by Philadelphia writer Van Stone. Reintroduced in the 1994 paperback book and comic strip Heroes of the Last Q - (It was first introduced in the 1976 completely pencil and pen drawn action comic strip series starring U7, a.k.a. Ace Powers and his friends such as superhero Axe Man VS supervillians, especially the supervillian ICY, with the title intentionally misspelled then, the Incredable U7); it consisted of 16 action episodes, by Philadelphia’s own writer(s) Kevin Lofton and Samuel Downing, a.k.a. Van Stone. In 1986, Ace Powers and Shadai Chiropractra, prior to the release of the 1994 paperback book and comic strip, became the two lead characters used to clearly define what the main theme of the Heroes of the Last Q story is about: Separate superheroes and superheroines, such as Ace Powers and Shadai Chiropractra and their own friends are autonomous and competitive with mainstream superheroes, mainstream government, mainstream medicine, and even god(s). Because the mainstream government, mainstream medicine and even god(s) allowed innocent human beings to have been genetically mutated; this was due to scientific genocidal experiments by the government.
Ace Powers is a young man of mixed Native American and Black American ancestry volunteered into an intergalactic future government “Last Quirinal”. In the year 3948 the government secretly warrants deadly experiments using American Indians and Blacks as test material. The super space scientist called the Ussiahs (spelled Uzziah from Hebrew) questioned the world scientist rank about its attempt to commit genocide against the Blacks of Philtro which lead to their being exiled as punishment for such questioning. Then secret experiments became unwarranted but even still the secret experiments continued from 3948 to 3995. After these space scientist intercepts a hostile message from the test victim, who became a mutant human being, in the year 4001, they seek assistance from the victorious Ace Powers who after their testing him, he becomes the super hero U7; they seek assistance from the super hero U7 and sidekick Shadai Chiropractra to undo the harm done as the Last Q’s on the brink of war with mutant humans from a man made planet.
As the story is deeply rooted in Black Indian and Hispanic, Biblical-Interest history, mythology, and spiritual inspiration, "U7" literally translates Uzziah the 7th, meaning Yahweh is my strength in Hebrew, and his signature weapon is the U7 Battle Suit.
The series often touches on spiritual issues, especially as they pertain to Shadai’s dual background in the traditions of the Black American Indian Leaders, and Mythology.
However, Kevin Lofton was the sole artist who drew all 16 episodes of the Incredable U7.) -, on a fictional earth, assisted by various supporting characters including his crime-fighting friend(s), Shadai Chiropractra, a chiropractor, (Shadai was not a character in the original 1976 comic strip series; she did not come in the story until the 1994 Van Stone version of the strip about Blacks in Space and doctored health profession, chiropractic treatment VS mainstream medicine) the 6 Ussiah Scientist, Axe Man, Axe Girl, his anti-hero first cousin Space Powers, a.k.a. Icy, Camtron (U7’s Supercomputer), XDMZ (Malcolm X Men Demilitarized Zone Soldiers), Anthony Conroy and sidekick Tim of the City of Tomorrow, and cross-paths-stories starring super-detectives Baldwin Blues and his sidekick Bo Tomlin, -the Living Monsters, Tubal Cain, Pale Paws, Awarewolf, Olmec, Nimrod, Vam-Roman, Vam-Mummy, with guess appearances by the talking animal safety for kids and patients character Roger Robbie, the Lovable Hip-Hop Raccoon.
He fights an assortment of villains such as the Anvil Man, Grand Kaiser, the Kaiseron, Minotaur, Dr. Apache They, mad scientist, Trollglidon, and the notorious Science Senate, and the very spiritual and fanatical, the Q, the Wayers, and the Creator of the Game. Unlike most superheroes, he possess very little superpowers; he makes use of intellect, science and technology, physical prowess, martial arts skills, and will, in his continuous war to have justice.

This number 7 is now typically used across media to symbolize the character the Incredible U7, a.k.a. U7; when fitted with a powered armor U7 suit with weapons that include beams and missiles and many other powers.
Throughout the series, he executes missions given to him by the Sonic Defenders Patrol, the Last Q government, and the Ussiah’s while defending against the antagonistic Creator of the Game and autonomous super powered characters, along with troubled soldiers in space and on the earth.

His duty is to patrol the state of Philtro, a.k.a. Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a state in the government of the Quirinal. However, when six brothers discovered that they were dying due to working on a super experiment invention calling it the super 7 experiment they decided that the user of the experiment would internally and more importantly externally carry on their last name being more than an ordinary hero, -especially after they will have one day passed on due to their deaths, the user of the experiment would be a superhero.
Because the super 7 experiment, in short, the 7 experiment, was created all together by the 6 Ussiahs, the user of the experiment would become known as the Seventh Ussiah, a.k.a. U7 superhero. And thus, the user of the U7 would get the honorable mention and induction in their family and be another Ussiah, but constantly in secret identity. And so because the 6 family member team of special scientist named Ussiah, 5 females and 1 male, have put an incredible amount of work into this project, the superhero must be recognized always and forever lasting as the Incredible U7.

They become known as the Children of Science (COS). The COS was 6 kids who didn’t follow the attitude of the Ussiahs when it came to science. Having their own free minds they created a super battle computer unlike any other called Camtron. The COS donated Camtron to U7 as a reward for his heroics. Camtron’s special purpose is to protect the Incredible U7 and his friends whenever from wherever Camtron was located. But it was the unexpected support from a female soldier named Shadai Chiropractra when Ace Powers faced a sneak attack at base from the skies by the Kaiserons because they have been genetically mutated due to scientific mainstream medicine genocidal experiments by the Last Q government that developed a sidekick partnership between Ace Powers and Shadai Chiropractor.

Shadai was trained by her mother Yolanda in the martial arts and spiritual inspiration which includes super spinal manipulations that can heal and produce force field shields for over the body. And it was her own father who taught her about the fine details that her name is the name of God Almighty. He also trained her to use a super enhanced chiropractic formula based on the D.D. Palmer theory of medicine. Using this formula she would therefore become a super heroine protector of those who believe in chiropractic medicine VS mainstream medicine.
