Captain Comet Appreciation Thread

[Sandy Hausler]

Captain Comet has been a favorite of mine since he started appearing in Secret Society of Super Villains in the 1970s. (I'm not old enough to have caught his appearances in the 1950s. I know that he has made spotty appearances over the decades, but with all the reboots, I'm not sure if he exists in the current DC Universe or if he is (again) a lost hero. Anybody have any information or thoughts on this? Wikipedia outlined a few appearances from 2011 and later, but I'm still not sure what his status is.

Pre new 52 I loved this character(old are deaged versions), I would love for either of them to comeback.

Don't know his current status, or future plans, but I've always really liked the character and wish he'd be used more often, and used well.

He's been a fave of mine since his SSoSV chasing days too! I liked seeing him in L.E.G.I.O.N. too. If memory serves he butted heads with Vril Dox quite a bit.

I always liked the character for his mix of physical and mental abilities. He never felt over-powered, but powerful enough to fend off Superman. I also like that CC was the first DC Mutant (that I heard about, anyway).

And then there was DC Special #27 (cover-dated April-May 1977):

It also featured Tommy Tomorrow (the blonde guy in purple) as well as Chronos (among others).

If his powers failed him, CC also had a "ray gun"!
