About

In this Mash-Up we will be exploring the origins of two public domain superheroes, DareDevil and Moon Girl, 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.

Moon Devil (Original Character by Nicholas Benson)

Origin

The wizard Ka-Zhan, a criminal who terrorized space using a magickal talisman known as the moonstone fell in the 13th century to Kaidu the ancient moon king, rises from the dead in modern day and kills the king and queen of the moon. 

With his moonstone back in his possession he flees to Earth to wreak havoc among its people. 

Prince Bart Mengu Lune travels to Earth in his royal space cruiser to chase after the wizard Ka-Zhan and avenge the death of his parents. 

On Earth he finds that without the royal moonstone that once granted him amazing powers, Bart is no match for Ka-Zhan. 

In order to have a better chance at victory the young prince spends years in Australia training alongside aborigines, a great people who's spiritual insight has allowed them to make contact with and help the moon people in the past, learning ancient meditation techniques and becoming skilled in the use of a hunting boomerang. 

Forming his own boomerang out of special material from the royal cruiser and gaining supernatural abilities from practicing ancient meditation techniques, Bart decides that he is now ready to face Ka-Zhan and travels the world in search of the wizard. 

Along the way Bart helps protect the innocent and his feats become legendary. 

The people of Earth give Bart the name of Moon Devil, as he defeats criminals with the fearlessness of a daredevil and also because he is the prince of the moon.
