Re: Mystic Superheroes

 

Blue Devil

 

Ok, I admit it has been many many years since I read this comic, but I could swear this character's origin was a stuntman trapped in a suit that amped his strength and agility? Am I wrong?

 

He was trapped in the suit magically. Therefore it counts, kind of.

 

Not really DC: the Dan Garrett Blue Beetle's scarab was magical. It was later retconned to be some alien dealie.

 

Power Girl was the granddaughter of Arion for a while.

 

Hawk and Dove kinda sorta got their powers from a Lord of Chaos and a Lord of Law.

 

Lilith was a witch. Raven's powers were magical. As was Wonder Girl's, and, indeed, Wonder Woman's. Some of these may have been mentioned, but I wasn't paying attention. (Johnny Thunder's powers were magic too.)

 

And, and, and: BATMITE! So there!!!

Re: Mystic Superheroes

 

I hope this doesn't burst your bubble (cuz I really do appreciate your efforts)' date=' but I was browsin' around and found a whole list of mystic heroes from a variety of comic publishers. Note that the list includes anyone associated with magic or the supernatural and not just magic-wielding heroes. http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Dungeon/2864/Super_Magic.html

Owe you rep for this - might be the most useful link I've gotten all year. Thanks!

Lilith was a Psi, not a Witch (Don't ask me about the porting, I don't understand where it comes from)

 

Dove was linked to a Lord of Order (Small point)

Yes, OK, whatever, I go it wrong...

 

Ooh! Fury got her power from, err, the Furies!

 

The Shining Knight had a magic component to his origin too, IIRC.

 

And: Comet the Superhorse!!!!!

 

It's just too easy...

 

Uncle Sam? Nightshade. Vixen (Tantu Totem)? Gypsy?? Captain Triumph! Deadman!! etc.

And, finaly Colone No Obaba (some small knolage of mystical objects).

 

Yugi Muto/Yami Yugi/"The Pharo" (from Yu-Gi-Oh!)
