In world war two the Nazi organization known as the 5th Column was working to develop vampiric super-soldiers, among other things. In response the Allies created Project Busterman, in which various willing soldiers, mainly last-chancers facing execution, were subjected to experiments in an attempt to make them manifest abilities. Alex Blake, a Canadian PFC who'd been threatened with execution for killing a fellow soldier in cold blood (the soldier had used excessive force and nearly killed a surrendering Hitler Youth), became Patient Zero, thus Busterman Zero. In all there were eleven Bustermen, several with unique powers different from the others. Following a deadly battle with the 5th Column, seven remained: Zero, Pyro, Cryo, Aero, Hydro, Electro and Geo. The seven formed the Buster Brigade and worked after the war to track the movement of major arch-villains such as Nemesis and Lord Recluse, unaware that the 5th Column was still in existence.

Following the Rikti War only Zero and Pyro remained, Pyro confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Zero began to lead a one-man war against the 5th Column, now the Council, headless of the dangers. After a confrontation with Arakhn Zero was badly wounded and needed a blood transfusion, which he received from Pyro. Pyro's blood caused Zero to develop a few flame-based abilities, further strengthening him his battles against those who would threaten his beloved Paragon City.

During the Rikti War several members of the Buster Bridge fell to the invaders. Among the fallen was Busterman Electro, a member of Alpha Team who was seemingly killed in action. Following the end of the war Busterman Zero put Electro's body into storage in a Longbow base, well away from the thieving hands of Crey Industries and other organizations. Uknown to Zero at the time Electro's body was still barely fuctioning, put into a state of deep hibernation by the Rikti weapon blast to avoid death.

After a few years inside a preservation capsule a Kheldian Peacebringer approached Electro and communicated with his mind, offering him new life in return for joining with the alien. Electro didn't hesitate and was born again as Busterman Neo.

In response to the damage Busterman Zero was causing, the Council decided to fight fire with fire. Using a blood sample taken from a recent battle and combining it with Vampyri tissue an imperfect clone of Zero with no thought patterns. Following a trade with the Circle of Thorns the Council was able to use the Eye of the Abyss to make the clone use DNA from its two donors to create a personality and give it life, resulting in Busterman Shadow. Unfortunately for the Council, not only was Shadow evil, but he shared Zero's hatred for the facists.

Following his escape from the Council Shadow found himself in the employment of Arachnos on the Rogue Isles. The alliance quickly deteriorated and Shadow offered no loyalty to Lord Recluse even after he was rescued from Brickstown after he'd been captured while trying to infect Paragon City's water supply with the Busterman Virus.
