In 2612, Roger Marlow played around with his birthday gift from his father Rod: an orbitus. He converted it into a high-tech anti-grav skateboard and rode it into town.

This attracted the attention of Karsoff and Sheer, who recognised the orbitus as a powerful piece of Skarosian technology. They kidnapped young Roger, realising the device's potential for crime, and soon, Rod came to his rescue. The orbitus freed him from captivity, and Rod called the police. Thanks to their help, the police had finally captured the two criminals, among the universe's most wanted men. (COMIC: The Orbitus)
