Origins
Because of his perfect genetics, Project Cadmus cloned Guardian (Jim Harper). The clone escaped early on, but Cadmus created clones of him to keep the charade of Guardian going. As these were clones of a clone, their genetic structure was unstable. Many wore down after a year, and many did not even get that old. While some had the exact memories of the original Jim Harper, others had very little brain activity.

In addition to the Golden Guardian, Cadmus made other Harper clones as well. Auron was created from the original Harper. Adam was a clone with the body of the cloned Jim Harper and the mind of Dubbilex. Gwendoline Harper was a female clone of the Harper Clone, and one he took with him when he escaped.

Project Cadmus
The Harper clones served as chiefs of security for Project Cadmus, and mentors to the most prominent other genetic achievemements of the project, Superboy and the Newsboy Legion. They were apparently not aware of the multiple clones. After Paul Westfield's death, he had to share his functions with Adam Winterbourne, and later with reformed villain Heat Wave.
