 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.
His friend and confidant, physics professor Emery Zackro, compared his condition to a throwback, that is, a creature in whom a chance combination of genes causes it to resemble an earlier form of its species.
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.
