Captain
Cosmos
Real Name: George
O'Brien
Age: 65 (estimated, actual age unknown)
ABILITIES
Captain Cosmos’ powers
are cosmic-based and are similar to his former sidekick, Blue
Comet. He has the ability to fly, emit cosmic blasts from his
hands, and can lift objects weighing several tons. Surrounding
himself with cosmic energy, he can deflect bullets and can
survive in the harshest of conditions, including the depths
of space. Due to his cosmic powers, his aging has slowed, appearing
to be a man of his mid-sixties, he is actually much older.
BIOGRAPHY
Obtaining his powers during the celestial event in the 1940’s that triggered
the super powered era, Captain Cosmos was a charter member of W.H.O. and helped
to lead the fledgling organization through its early years. After several decades
as a solo hero as well as serving as a member of various super teams, the Captain
moved to Golden Bay City and began his career as its premier super hero and protector.
Over
the span of his career he thwarted hundreds of super villains including the
likes of The Madd-Scientist, Cold Snap, Strato,
Dr. Simian, E. Vile Genius, Grow-Tesque and Strange-O as he strove to protect
his beloved city.
Thanks
to his popularity and increased workload, Captain Cosmos
was provided a sidekick by W.H.O. and Kid Comet was selected
because he shared similar powers
and abilities. Captain Cosmos gladly took Kid Comet under his wing and the
two enjoyed an adventurous career over their years together. In addition
to having
a junior partner, the Captain again took up service as a member of several
super teams, always lending his powers at a moment’s notice.
Then
after five years together, Kid Comet updated his name to
Blue Comet and Captain
Cosmos proudly realized it was time for his sidekick to move
on. Knowing
that Blue Comet had much more to offer the world as a hero of his own merit,
Captain Cosmos encouraged him to move forward with his super hero career.
The Captain then resumed patrolling Golden Bay City on his own.
Eventually,
the strain of being needed in too many places took its
toll and Captain Cosmos decided to retire after a dangerous
encounter in which
he
nearly lost
his life. A huge farewell retirement party was held and attended by many
of the world’s heroes during which he named Blue Comet and Sunstar
as his successors. As a thank you gift, the citizens of Golden Bay City
had a home built for the
hero on the moon. The secluded location was a request of Captain Cosmos’ personal
physician in order to quiet his compulsion of always helping those in
peril without regard for his own safety.
While
he visits earth from time-to-time, Captain Cosmos spends
most of his time enjoying life in his “little
piece of Golden Bay City” on the moon.
He rests well, knowing that the safety of his home town is in the capable
hands of his successors.
