Description
Dr. Synthe
Real Name: "Unpronouncable"
Powers: Cosmic Energy Physiology & Particle Energy Manipulation
Equipment: None
First Appearance: Stars & Stripes Comics #3 (1941)

Golden Age Origin
"Dr. Synthe was an enormous energy-based alien from Mo, a planet located a million light years from Earth. Like the rest of his species, he had an ability to create and destroy any object by manipulating electrons. While traveling through the solar system, he crash-landed in Long Island, NY. Or, to be more specific, he crash-landed straight through the boat that belonged to Ray Rogers. The young man hoped to sell the boat in order to raise money to save his terminally ill girlfriend, Betty Jordan. Dr. Synthe tried to ask Ray what planet he was on, only to realize that his form terrified the young man, so he transformed himself into a human. Upon learning of Ray's plight, he used his powers to heal her. And, because he was a good natured being, Dr. Synthe decided to reward his new friends by giving them anything they desired. Unfortunately, they got them into trouble with the law enforcement, which took the dim view of a young couple suddenly getting goods they could not possibly afford. Luckily for them, Dr. Synthe arrived just in time to prove that their story wasn't as crazy as it sounded.

Although he could have recreated his spaceship any time he wished, Dr. Synthe decided to stay behind and stop crimes and anything else that might threaten his new friends and (by extension) the planet they lived on.

Unlike certain homicidal omnipotent aliens , Dr. Synthe wasn't particularly violent and was usually prepared to believe the best about everyone. He tried his best to follow Earth laws and customs, but, because he was an alien, he inevitably made mistakes and failed to fully think through the consequences of his actions. As an energy being, he had no concept of death (he merely found the war "boring."), but he understood enough to protect his friends from harm."

Kind of a more moral version of Fletcher Hank's Stardust, The Super-Wizard. And unlike Stardust, Synthe does explain how his powers function, if only in passing. I had this picture already made a long while ago, but I haven't posted it till now because I didn't figure out how to reboot his story. Now I think I could just keep his story as is, just place it in modern day and have Synthe and Stardust be from the same species of energy-based aliens who can manipulate particle energy, which can explain how Stardust can have so many different beams and how both can effectively manipulate all forms of matter. And yes I did use a similar design like I did with my version of Stardust .

Another idea I had was that at some point, Synthe may end up meeting Fantomah . The possible conflict between two beings that could bend the universe around them to their will would be interesting to say the least.

This character was made using Hero Machine 3.
