Biography[edit | edit source]

The background of Colonel Sumner was the same than the main timeline's version until they reached Atlantis. Sumner made some recon inside the city. When Doctor Rodney McKay discovered that the city shield was on the verge to collapse, Docteur Elizabeth Weir ordered to fall back in the Stargate room. Sumner and his team were drowned (SGA: "Before I Sleep").
