From Wikipedia:
In the days of prehistory, 50,000 BC, Savage was a caveman named Vandar Adg, leader of the Blood Tribe. He was bathed in the radiation of a mysterious meteorite, which gave him incredible intellect and immortality. An observer from the Bear Tribe would later approach that same meteorite and become Savage's eternal nemesis, the Resurrection Man, possessing the power to resurrect as a new persona every time he is killed.
Savage's first mark in the "history" of the DC Universe came when he and a select group of people successfully undermined and destroyed the lost city of Atlantis. That group of people became known as the Illuminati, with Savage serving as its leader, then and ever since.
He claims to have ruled hundreds of civilizations under hundreds of names: Khafre, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar (though he has also claimed to have participated in the murder of Julius Caesar), Genghis Khan, Blackbeard, and Vlad the Impaler, to name a few. He has also worked as close friends and advisers to the likes of Erik the Red, Napoleon Bonaparte, Ra's al Ghul, Otto von Bismarck, and Adolf Hitler.
Vandal Savage was the first person I thought of when Dean Cain made that speech about Crusader's spears, etc. And plus, Dean Cain even LOOKS like Vandal Savage (minus the beard that Savage usually wears, but then again Vandal Savage's various personas have not always had beards).
My guess is AlMiles for some reason didn't get the rights to specifically say "Curtis Knox"'s real name, but the backstory is totally Vandal Savage.
