The frozen body of the Space Wizard with Vull the Invisible and Captain Universe. (1964)
Stardust the Space Wizard was a brutal alien who cruelly punished his adversaries. His reign of terror ended during his last battle against the superhero Captain Universe.
History[]
Regarded as a sadistic monster by Captain Universe, the Space Wizard preferred to punish his enemies with a fiendishly inventive range of living deaths, so that they could suffer eternally.
In 1959, Stardust attempted to force his way into the realm of the Science-Elders, who granted Captain Universe his powers. He eventually fought and was defeated by Captain Universe. Stardust's defeat was due to the fact that he was drunk, stumbling and uncoordinated which allowed Captain Universe to throw him in a chamber of Ice-9, freezing him in his own concoction that he previously trapped his victims. Stardust's headquarters was taken over by Captain Universe, and his frozen body remained there and put on display.
Source material[]
Stardust the Super Wizard first appeared in Fantastic Comics (1939), and was created by Fletcher Hanks. Stardust is a superhero in the original comics, but his actions are considered by a modern audience to be very harsh. Stardust's drunkenness and demise is based on the death of Fletcher Hanks, who had frozen to death, penniless and likely drunk in 1976.
