Mash-Up: Air Man and Amazing Man

About

In this Mash-Up we will be exploring the origins of two public domain superheroes from Centaur Publications, Airman and Amazing Man, and then I will show my take on a modernized version of these two characters combined to create a new original character with the best attributes of both.

Airman

Origin

Drake Stevens, son of ornithologist Claude Stevens, becomes a vigilante after his father is senselessly killed and the police are unable to bring the killer to justice.

Gear and Gadgets

Drake builds gas powered wings and a jet pack to use for traversing the city and takes advantage of bombs and guns for combat.

Amazing Man

John Aman was trained the first twenty-five years of his life by a group of monks known as the Council of Seven to superhuman levels of physical and mental ability.

When John passes his final test the Council of Seven give him a chemical that allows him to transform into a sentient cloud of green mist and send him out into the world to use his skills and abilities to fight against injustice and protect the innocent.

Origin

Drake Aman was trained the first twenty-five years of his life by a group of monks known as the Council of Seven to superhuman levels of physical and mental ability.

After his final test one of the Council of Seven turns on his brothers killing them and vowing to spread injustice across the world, when Drake tries to stop him he is unable to due his lack of experience and the betrayer escapes taking on the name the Great Question.

Drake decides that he is going to travel the world in search of the Great Question to avenge the deaths of the Council of Seven and will honor their deaths by carrying on their legacy of fighting injustice and protecting the innocent.

While traveling the world Drake befriends an elderly biorobotics expert by the name of Claude Stevens, a retired vigilante looking for someone to carry on his mantle.
