Alpha Ray is the first attempt of the Korbinites to create a protector of their people. He was a biomechanical creation and very powerful. But what the being lacked was a mind. Uncontrollable, the Korbinites placed him in stasis. They then successfully created a new protector, Beta Ray Bill. When Galactus approached New Korbin, the priests suggested using Alpha Ray to protect them in the absence of Beta Ray. The military did not believe this to be a good idea, but finally they had no choice. Alpha Ray was awakened.

Powers and Abilities
Alpha Ray is a cyborg possessing superstrength, durability, stamina and speed. He is powerful enough to contend with Beta Ray Bill, but perhaps not as powerful. Alpha Ray can survive and function in the vacuum of space.
