Dreadstar was a gureilla fighter, not a wizard. He did have a Catman and a Wizard in his crew though. There was a gorilla-ish creature in his initial stories come to think of it. Sounds like you're sort of half-way remembering it.
Has anyone else read Dreadstar or or the Amber novels? (I figure we all know Nightcrawler)

Prince Benedict of Amber, from the Amber Novels by Roger Zelazny. That's him on the Tarot-ish image in the background. ( The hood on the amalgam is Vanth's) I highly recommend them, they're modern classics. I imagine I'll have to post some excerpts during debates to back up my claims of ownage. He's not even the protagonist of the story, he's the guy the badass-protagonist runs away from and tricks rather than face him in a duel.
Benedict would humble the Taskmaster. Yaahhh!

I'm not sure just how to handle the relative obscurity of Dreadstar and Benedict. Given that Dreadstar's run was finished before some of our fellowes here were even born, I imagine I'll have some scanning to do back up his feats rather than just rambling on with hyperbole.
In Benedict's case, there aren't even comics to draw from. There're the novels, and a cool diceless RPG from Phage Press (wherin Benedict defines the absolute limit of warfare skill that no PC or NPC can equal, let alone surpass), and that's all I could find.
I wen't with off beat picks to shake up the rut we kind of get in around here, but it's going to be a lot of work to pull off.

Yeah, you're gonna want to do that. And you might wanna see if you can get some of Nightcrawler's better feats on your computer. That's what I've been doing ever since I made the final decision on my three.
