Matthew Matic

Professor Matic was a member of the crew aboard the Fireball XL5.

In March 2065, Space Station M5 launched an emergency rescue ship in a desperate bid to save Matic, Steve Zodiac and Doctor Venus. At that moment they were stranded in space with only the life-giving effects of their oxygen pills keeping them alive. (COMIC: Power Play) Matic's plight was mentioned in a report which revealed that Venus had finally collapsed from lack of oxygen. (PROSE: Superjet Shot Down)

In April 2065, Space City were puzzled by Matic's radio report which claimed that Saharins were seeking revenge for space attacks on Saharis in 1987 by Red Star modules launched in the 1960s. (COMIC: Duel of the Daleks) Matic had orders to destroy the W.S.W.193 with all aboard if Zodiac failed to release the dangerous Omega-Minus device which was bolted to its underneath before the ship re-entered Earth's atmosphere. (PROSE: Zodiac's Rescue Bid!)

Matic was present at 04.15 hours on Wednesday, 1 May, 2065 (PROSE: Battle in Space) aboard the Fireball XL5 when the solar system's Tenth Space Fleet came across an Astran force and engaged it in battle, sparking a Space War. (COMIC: Space Border Battle)
