In reality, he was a being possessing superhuman powers who was manipulating the JGA.The JGA fought in a nuclear war that cost all of their lives and lead to the destruction of most of their planet's world. Ray survived and developed vast psychic illusion powers from the nuclear fallout. He used his new-found powers to recreate the world in which he lived and resurrected his heroes.
