Gerry Hanik was a rich business tycoon from New York for the majority of his early life. He was a fast wheeling and dealing Science Equipment salesman and made a fortune by developing the Hanik Flask. He squandered most all of his money on fast cars and loose women, though. He was a regular playboy and dined with the famous and rich often. One day he was warned by a beggar and street prophet somewhere on 33rd St. in New York (near the Path station) that he was "going to have a change, a needed change." He one day decided to go to a mine in Angola to look for a possible new kind of metal for Bunsen burners. He and two Angolan guides entered the passage into the Cave of Reasons and entered into a small alcove in the lowest parallel. The guides suddenly fell to their knees and cried of a powerful presence in this room; however, Gerry Hanik just laughed at their cries and continued to examine the wall. The guides screamed and ran out; he cursed at their incompetence. Then, suddenly, there was a great flash of light and a loud crash. As the dust cleared Gerry shined his light on the now crumbled pile of rocks and to his amazement in the rock were three letters: BSA. He left that cave a changed man and sought to find the meaning of these letters. He returned to New York but then retired to his villa in Hawthorne. One day he took two strangers into his home and they of course were The Head Brigadoon and Jub-Jub the Computer Head, and with his help they formed the Backroom Science Alliance.
