ICYMI: Bill Everett's The Conqueror debuted in Victory Comics from Hillman Periodicals as a superhero transformed by cosmic rays. BillEverett GoldenAge sponsored
Interestingly, the Conqueror's origin was told in a two-part text story in the first two issues of, the Conqueror's powers come from cosmic rays: A pilot named Daniel Lyons was attempting to fly from California to New York, but his plane crashed in the Rocky mountains due to bad weather. He was found by Professor James Norton, whom the papers of the day called"the cosmic ray professor," and taken to Norton's laboratory.
Norton explains to Lyons,"I was afraid you wouldn't make it. So I applied the benefits of the ray — and have been doing it now every day ever since you've been here. I've been feeding you with juices energized by cosmic rays. I've been baking your body with my special cosmic ray lamp. See it there? Your body has been absorbing the energy of this ray. Your metabolism has increased tremendously already.
. Something of a rarity in the Golden Age, one eyebrow-raising letter in this issue had a reader taking issue with the focus on what he termed as"England's War" and preferred thathero The Conqueror take on Stalin in Russia. While this issue hit the newsstands several weeks before the US's declaration of war, Compton replied that this was not just England's war, but ours as well, and now even Stalin's war.
