 Kid Macro served as a valued member of the team, fighting time travelers, giant robots, and time-traveling giant robots, until exposure to time-travel energies adjusted him to the timeline, giving him a new past in the Looniverse. This was revealed in the story arc ''[[Born To Be Run]]''.
-In this history, he'd grown up in the downwardly mobile town of Clue Valley with his Aunt Glory. He had gained his powers as a child as part of an experiment by the [[Sapster]] and become the kid sidekick of a superhero named Macroman &ndash; until the day Macroman disappeared.  He tried to live a normal life, but the devices that had held back his powers as a kid were less able to control them when puberty struck.  His secret revealed, he had to live in a specially-designed harness.  For a time, he kept his head above water, but he slowly sank into a downward spiral &ndash; until the [[Robot Invasion]].

 During the time he'd spent as Macroman in the past, he'd come to terms with much of his pain and forgiven Kat, even though he knew many of his teammates (especially [[Lynk|Anna]]) wouldn't. He chose not to press charges, and she remained on the team, under close supervision.

 [[File:Macrobash.GIF|frame|From [[Dave Van Domelen]], 5/3/98: I took a Prince Talon action figure from the Flash Gordon line and built it into this Macroman toy. After removing the blades from forearms and knees, the wing-attachment pegs and the dippy ponytail, I built up the wristbands, helmet, kneepads, belt and harness with Sculpey. I decided to turn the unremovable bits on the back into a backpack and leave the jets on the calves, to represent Macroman merging elements of his Robo Warriors suit with the "classic" Macroman costume. The figure remains full mobility at all joints (shoulders, hips, waist, neck) although repeated movement will probably cause some paint to rub off near the seams.]]
 The next foe Dvandom Force fought was the mysterious [[The Warlord|Warlord]], who turned out to be deeply connected to him. Macroman had sought out aid from [[Kopikat]] in better mastering his powers, allowing her to inferface with his artificial nervous system. However, Kat, isolated and desperate for intimacy, took advantage of him and entered into his erotic memories, forming a forced psychic/sexual link. This act of psychic violation had disastrous consequences: she inadvertently created a new mind within his artificial nervous system, a being called [[Jubatis]] &ndash; the speedy cat.
