Delroy Garrett, Jr. grew up to become a track star and competed in the Olympics. After he tested positive for steroids, he lost his three gold medals. In despair, he turned to religion, specifically the Tribune Understanding. This group's founder, Jonathan Tremont, grabbed a patch of the group found centuries earlier and thought to have religous importance. and used them to give Garrett the powers of 3D Man. Garrett assumed that his powers were because of his new found spiritual enlightenment, and Tremont never disabused him of the notion.
Delroy served as the Triune Understanding's spokesperson for a while. While at JFK Airport, he witnessed a battle between the Avengers and Serpent Squad. Delroy then took the mantle of the 3D Man and assisted the Avengers in their fight, which resulted in the Serpent Squad's retreat. Delroy was then offered a Avengers membership to which he accepted.
