		In the year 1931, under the light of a bright new comet that passed over the northern hemisphere, Adam Blake was born to a young farming couple from the American midwest.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Captain Comet
		Captain Comet was Adam Blake, a man born 100,000 years ahead of his time — at least, according to the prevailing dogma of pulp-style science fiction, in which our species was evolutionarily predestined for a glorious future of mental and physical perfection.
		Adam's mutant status was attributed to an especially bright, previously unknown comet whose light had shone upon him minutes after birth — tho why the comet didn't affect others born under its glare was unexplained.
		Despite the blandness of the character, with his generic super powers and lack of supporting cast or interesting motivations, Captain Comet continued to battle criminals, alien invaders and (like most 1950s DC characters) the occasional talking gorilla for the next three years.

	Fanzing 17 - May 1999 - Spring Into Action
		Comet doesn't pay much attention at first, being mostly concerned with his science studies and his self-appointed job of galactic policeman.
		Comet will also come to meet three of Churl's former associates in the Blasters: Carlotta Rivera, the human electromagnetic field called Jolt; her friend, Gunther the Dominator; and the new Orleans confidence man Amos Monroe, called Crackpot.
		I believe the possibilities with a space-faring character like Comet to be infinite, especially with all of the races, worlds, organizations, etc. that have been established over the years and have now lost their avenues of exploration, with no real sci-fi comics being published by DC Comics.

		The first time I ever saw Captain Comet was in an ad for an issue of DC Comics Presents.
		Captain Comet was shown on the cover turning into a human comet and asking for Superman's help.
		I finally got that issue about 18 years later and was disappointed to learn that Captain Comet doesn't normally turn into a comet; instead, he has all sorts of funky mental powers, which are cool and all, but wouldn't have fired up my 6-year-old imagination like a human comet.

		He is a living void cloaked by the classic cape and cowl billowing out a fl soupy smoke, much like his namesake's old grenade weapons." Captain Comet was a mutant space hero for DC during the 1950s (years before the more famous mutant heroes the X-Men were a gleam in Stan Lee's eye).
		Comet's attire is most similar to his earliest costume with a helmet more akin to those used in _2001: A Space Odyssey_.
		Since Superman and Captain America are both apotheoses of the heroic ideal, it's nice to see them grouped together, and their obvious pleasure at meeting each other.

		One of the biggest changes I made was to drop the queen and the planet setting (which took too long to explain) and re-locate the story in a space station, which was more straightforward.
		Of course, I could have simply gone back to the original Captain Stardust version, but the process of pairing down a plot often makes you look at it more objectively and I decided that the story worked better in the new space station setting.
		I changed ‘Stardust’ to ‘Comet’ after I found out that the name “Captain Stardust” was already being used by another author.
