The Grandmaster, one of the Elders of the Universe, once traveled to Earth-712, inhabited by the Squadron Supreme, and there he challenged the time-traveling Scarlet Centurion to a contest. In this contest, both would chose a team of champions to engage in combat with one another. The Grandmaster used the Squadron Supreme, while the Scarlet Centurion assembled a number of the Squadron's enemies as the Institute of Evil. After the Grandmaster won the contest, the original Squadron expressed unwillingness to participate in any future game. Therefore, he decided to create his own Squadron of superhuman beings.
