[edit] Biography
[edit] Third World War
Dugan was elected president prior to the Third World War. When the Soviet Union attacked the USA, Dugan attempted to persuade Soviet Premier Alexander Romanov to call off the attack. When this failed the president ordered a nuclear counterstrike. The counterstrike failed to materialize due to Yuri's manipulation.
Early in the war Soviet forces captured Washington D.C. and built a Psychic Beacon near the White House. Most of the population in the area, including Dugan and General George Carville, were brought under Soviet control. During this time Dugan called upon Americans to accept Soviet rule. Unaffected Allied forces counterattacked quickly. The Washington D.C. Psychic Beacon was destroyed and a liberated Dugan was evacuated to Canada.
[edit] New Allies
The Europeans had been avoiding involvement in the war but the Soviet nuclear attack on Chicago gave Dugan the opening to secure European aid. The president agreed to despatch Agent Tanya to neutralize the Soviet nuclear threat to Europe, and in so doing secure European support.
Dugan returned to the US with the recapture of the capital.
[edit] Psychic Dominator Disaster
Crisis continued to mar Dugan's presidency with victory over the Soviet Union being quickly by the Psychic Dominator Disaster. Dugan offered Yuri a presidential pardon and leadership over the Soviet Union in return for peace. When this failed Dugan personally ordered an airstrike against the Psychic Dominator on Alcatraz Island. The strike managed only to disable the device's power supply but this gained enough time for an Allied team to travel back to the beginning of the Third World War and forestall Yuri's plans.
Dugan attended the summit in London, England to ratify the peace treaty with the Soviet Union.
It is unknown what became of Dugan after Anatoly Cherdenko used the time machine to erase Albert Einstein from history and re-initiate World War III. One can assume he never rose to the rank of President like he did in the original timeline.
