HOTW- Amazing Man (original)

 

From Wiki- Amazing-Man (John Aman) is a comic book superhero whose adventures were published by Centaur Publications during the 1930s to 1940s in the Golden Age of Comic Books. Historians credit his creation variously to writer-artist Bill Everett^[1] or to Everett together with Centaur art director Lloyd Jacquet.^[2] Amazing-Man first appeared in Amazing-Man Comics #5 (Sept. 1939)—there were no issues numbered #1–4.^[3]  John Aman is an orphan from the West, chosen for his "superb physical structure" to be raised by benevolent monks in Tibet for the first 25 years of his life.^[11] Each member of The Council of Seven, as the monks are known, trained him to a superhuman degree of physical and mental ability, while also giving him the ability via a chemical solution to disappear into a cloud of green mist, earning him the secondary title of the Green Mist.^[12] His new powers include super-strength, invulnerability and speed, as well as healing and telekinesis.^[13]  After receiving his final tests, he is sent into the world to use his skills and abilities to do good. Opposing Aman, as he was often known, is his nemesis the Great Question, a disgruntled member of the Council of Seven.^[14] Aman's sidekick is Tommy, the Amazing Kid, and he's also aided by "ace girl crime investigator" Zona Henderson.^[13]  Back to me:

This is an interesting concept, though nothing particularly new.  Several companies have used the character now, though I wouldn't say the character was improved.  Not even with the costume, which could use a little work.
