Apollo is a Captain in the Colonial Fleet, serving as a Viper pilot and leader of Blue Squadron. He is the son of Commander Adama and the adopted father of Boxey.

He participates in the defense of Freighter Eighteen and later leads the successful counter-attack against a Cylon assault ship using a modified impulse microvator (ComicsLook-In Magazine: Storyline 1).[1]

During an exploratory mission to the planet Thar, Apollo is the only person able to see Sarany, the planet's leader. He is shown the truth of her people's ability to manipulate time and is caught between their test of the Fleet's peaceful nature and his crewmates' belief that he has suffered a breakdown. He ultimately chooses his duty to the Fleet over Sarany's offer to stay with her in paradise (ComicsLook-In Magazine: Storyline 2).[2]

Due to his natural immunity, Apollo takes temporary command of the transport Orestes during an outbreak of Parahelial Fever. After the ship is crippled and captured by the Cylons, he uses the alias "Captain Carter" and bluffs the Imperious Leader by claiming his ship is contaminated with a plague. He later escapes captivity and leads the crew and children of Orestes to safety (ComicsLook-In Magazine: Storyline 3).[3]

Apollo leads the initial survey of the planet Zaroak, where he, Starbuck, and Athena are shot down and enslaved in Cylon-run mines. He works with the local resistance to orchestrate an escape and helps spark a planet-wide revolt (ComicsLook-In Magazine: Storyline 4).[4]
