Stardust the Super Wizard (Comic Book) | comment |
Stardust the Super Wizard is a Golden Age superhero, written, penciled and inked by Fletcher Hanks for the Eisner & Iger comic book "packager".The titular character is known for his vaguely defined, god-like superpowers and his creatively bizarre version of "justice". Stardust uses the power of science to save New York City from various nazis, gangsters and aliens bent on destroying it.Stardust made his debut in "Fantastic Comics" #1 (December 1939) and remained a staple of the magazine up until his last story, which was instead printed in "Big Three Comics" #2 (Winter 1941). The rather brief run of the series also happens to span the entirety of Hanks' career in comics.The aforementioned books have since lapsed into the Public Domain, allowing for these comics to be legally shared online, and for the character to be appropriated by any author for any purpose. This has helped Stardust to attain something of an ironic cult following in recent decades, including at least one attempt to reboot the character in webcomic form.Fantagraphics Books published two collections in 2007 and 2009 — I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets! and You Shall Die By Your Own Evil Creation!, respectively — of Fletcher Hanks' known stories, which naturally includes both Stardust's demented adventures and those of Hanks' other characters (Fantomah, Space Smith, Big Red, et al). In 2016, a merged volume, Turn Loose Our Death Rays and Kill Them All!, came out, serving as the most definitive and comprehensive compilation of Hanks' work. | |

The Spook: Absolutely nothing is known about Stardust beyond the fact that he is on humanity's side, is extraordinarily powerful and loves brutally punishing villains. Where he comes from, his real identity, how his powers work and where they originated from, his motivations. It's all one big question mark. | |

Stardust the Super Wizard (Comic Book) / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: He is known for his very strange and creative methods of punishing villains, such as turning them into ice and having them melt away, or turning them into human-headed rats and drowning them, or using his shrink ray to shrink only a criminal's body, then throwing his head like a ball into space where it will eventually be caught by a headless giant and swallowed up in the hole where the head should be. | |

Batman Can Breathe in Space: With Stardust himself, this is hand-waved in an early mention of him having artificial lungs that enable him to breathe in space. This is otherwise played straight with an unnamed woman that Stardust brings home with him after her family is killed in a house fire. She apparently has no trouble on the trip flying home through space. The vultures from Venus can also apparently breathe in space. | |

Author Appeal: In Paul Karasik's books that collected Stardust's stories and had sections on creator Fletcher Hanks's personal life and family and outline his track record of selfish and abusive behavior towards his wife and children, it's implied that Stardust's weird inhumanity and ruthlessness is how an abusive personality like Hanks's would interpret a crimefighting superhero. | |

Showy Invincible Hero: He has the power to do basically anything, at any time, without effort. He never faces an enemy who's the least bit of a danger to him, and the cruel and bizarre punishments he metes out rub their powerlessness in their faces. What suspense there is in these stories doesn't come from "Can Stardust avert disaster this time?", but "What acid-trip absurdity will Stardust inflict on the bad guys this time?" | |

Weird Sun: Stardust lives on a star. On the surface of it. Which is on fire. And the star is literally star-shaped. | |

Big Applesauce | |
Stardust the Super Wizard (Comic Book) / int_beb932ca | comment |
Big Applesauce: Many stories take place in or around New York City. Even when the city isn't mentioned by name, it's plenty obvious from the skyline. Almost certainly an example of Write What You Know given that Hanks created these comics for the Manhattan-based Eisner & Iger studio. | |

Anti-Hero | |
Stardust the Super Wizard (Comic Book) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Unintentionally. While Stardust is on the side of good, he's needlessly cruel and brutal to those he goes against, torturing them in absolutely horrible ways even after they've been detained and can no longer harm people, and lacks anything resembling human warmth or kindness. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
Stardust the Super Wizard (Comic Book) / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Stardust's powers are never clearly defined, other than his "tubular spacial" which he uses to fly, but mostly consist of whatever the author thinks would be cool at that moment. | |

Child Soldiers | |
Stardust the Super Wizard (Comic Book) / int_c9c756a8 | comment |
Child Soldiers: A possible way to describe Stardust's "Sixth Column" — an army of "red-blooded" American boys that Stardust picks for no apparent reason to be given some of his powers so that they can help him protect the homefront from Axis spies. By the next issue, these boys are to shown to have established recruiting stations across the country and have been given their own star-metal suits as uniforms. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Stardust the Super Wizard (Comic Book) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Although he's not called on it, Stardust's M.O. (mind you, he's supposed to be the hero) is to find out about a crime a criminal intends to commit (often with an enormous loss of life), let them actually commit the crime, then apprehend them and torture or kill them in bizarre ways. | |

Expy: Of Superman. Possibly also of Flash Gordon, though that is more likely the intent behind Hanks' other character, Space Smith. | |

Stardust the Super Wizard (Comic Book) / int_e542d80a | comment |
Gonk: A considerable number of Stardust's foes are drawn with protruding lower lips, furrowed neanderthal brows, and large cartoonish eyes. The most prominent example is the Super Fiend, but even quite a few of the human villains have some of these traits. | |

Have a Gay Old Time: Stardust's "powerful retarding ray", which is used to slow down a planet on collision course with Earth, and not what you might think instead. | |
