The origin story follows a 30-year-old detective named Roderick Prescott Jones dreaming of becoming a space bounty hunter when he was very young. After being attacked by a man with strange powers known as Cosmic Crystals and its Cosmic Armor, Scott creates a first alter ego for himself known as Rocket-Hood (or simply Rookie Hood), who quickly decides that it's more fun to be a bad guy than a hero. Stealing the map and the crystals with him, Scott investigates around the world along to gather and reunite the crystals before the evil villain does.
