Grogg lived below the surface of the former Soviet Union but was revived and freed by atomic bomb testing under Colonel Vorcutsky.

Miklos Kozlov, a scientist/political prisoner sabotaged the Soviet's plan to build a military base on Mars by tricking Grogg into entering their ship, Kozlov escaped using a smoke screen, leaving Grogg captured and trapped where he was allegedly sent to Mars.
