Pretty fond of the Ace of Space. As you can see above he has the fairly common origin of finding an alien spaceship and [getting powers accidentally from alien technology\/ getting powers as a reward for helping the alien\/ looting the deceased alien\/ <\/strike>taking on the dying alien’s mission and technology]. In this case, he has to defend the Earth from invading Slogoms. <\/p>\n

Also, I demand that you appreciate that cool looking alien. What a cool guy!<\/p>\n

The alien’s power belt gives A.C. “Ace” Egan the standard power array of enhanced flight, strength and speed, plus telepathy and, best of all, makes him 9 feet tall. He also inherits the alien’s spaceship, which can usefully turn invisible. <\/p>\n

As with most forgotten DC\/ Marvel super-heroes I reckon that Ace of Space should be brung back<\/b> as a legacy hero (or as himself after having relativistic adventures in his spaceship! I’m easy!) because if there’s one thing that I love about a sprawling shared super-hero universe it’s all the weirdos and obscurities. Any group shot at a super-meeting would only be enhanced by a 9 foot tall dude in jodhpurs and a flight helmet. Or his great grand-niece who is still 9 feet tall but dresses like a rockabilly lady – as I said, I’m easy.<\/p>\n
