Introduction
Captain Comet (Adam Blake) is what you call a throw-forward, a man born 100,000 years before his time. He first appeared in Strange Adventures #9 in 1951 and to this day still makes appearances. Recently in the new Mystery in Space series, Comet dies by the hands of Lady Styx and is eventually resurrected into a brand new younger body with completely new powers and abilities

Captain Comet witnesses his friend Star be killed with a telepathic assault, and mentions he has the ability to do so. Which makes sense, as it was a clone of Comet’s that killed Star.
Well I underestimated Comet, I just finished reading all his apperances in L.E.G.I.O.N and R.E.B.E.L and down right shocked with his feats. Such as physically manhandling Lobo and teaching a caveman intellect race to be civilized and have their own interstellar space program in just 6 months. I'm compiling all the scans now, man I love doing respect threads for characters so unknown

The new Captain Comet (Mystery in Space) is one of My favorite new comics, from the art to the writing, the comic is Great,i started right from the begining and i am hoping his own ongoing comic is not far behind when this ends

Definetly agree prior to the new Mystery in Space I knew nothing about him, but since then I have tried to pick up all his stories. He really has become one of my favorite chracters.
I truely hope he does get an on-going, as throughout his career he has he can hold a book on his own.
