== Publication history ==
Mr. Majestic was created by H.K. Proger and Jim Lee, first appearing in ''[[Wildcats (comics)|WildC.A.T.s]]'' #11, cover dated June 1994.
 
When Jim Lee was asked why he based Mr. Majestic so much on Superman, he stated that he was tired of seeing so many comic heroes who possessed great power but were too afraid to use it. Mr. Majestic possesses powers similar to those of Superman, but his personality is entirely different. Majestros has more militant views, as he is a Kheran [[warlord]]. The difference between the two is further portrayed when Majestros finds himself stuck on Superman's Earth. The two have an interesting conversation about Majestic's no-nonsense, all-business personality and Superman's more subtle approach to things. Subjects they discuss include the fact that Majestic put superhuman villains in prison without giving them a fair trial and getting into bouts with that world's heroes, claiming he finds them dismayingly reticent.

==Solo series==
In 2003, Wildstorm published a series called ''Mr. Majestic.'' In this series, it is revealed that Majestic did not spend the majority of his time after Team One in solitude, but rather as a government agent taking on paranormal anomalies with the aid of a gifted boy named Desmond. In the issues of this comic, much is revealed about Majestic's time after the [[Cold War]], as his adventures span from the late 1960s to the early 2000s. When he is flung into [[Metropolis (comics)|Metropolis]] by Daemonite technology and a time storm,<ref>''Action Comics'' #811 (March 2004)</ref> Majestros takes on the alias of Jim McArest (an [[anagram]] of "Mr. Majestic"), as he had suffered amnesia from the interdimensional trip. In 2005, Majestic (with the aid of Superman) returned to the WildStorm universe in an ongoing solo-series titled ''Majestic''.
 
In ''Mr. Majestic'' #4, it was revealed that Majestros has a son named Majestrate whom he took along from Khera (although the mother is not mentioned). Majestrate's body did not survive the crash landing, but his mind was preserved in a crystal. Majestic obtained a substance called "starstuff" from another [[dimension]] in order to transfer his son's mind into a new artificial body. The reunion was one of the rare occasions Majestic showed any emotion. The joy that both father and son experienced would, however, be short-lived. The fact that starstuff was in another [[dimension]] caused an interdimensional imbalance, an imbalance that tried to correct itself by manifesting in [[Australia]] in a man named Freddie Noondyke. It would soon become apparent that for the imbalance to be corrected, the starstuff in Majestrate's body would have to be returned, thus ending the boy's life. Majestic would hear nothing of it at first until his son convinced him that it was the right thing to do. Majestrate flew into the dimensional maelstrom and brought the imbalance to an end. When Majestic flew down, he found the metal skeleton of the artificial body. The result of this loss led to Majestros being in a depressed mood for quite some time.
