Description
Comet is a public domain character. This (copyrighted) interpretation was realized with HeroMachine3.
Original: pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Comet

Origin:

John Dickering was a young chemist who discovered a special gas that was fifty times lighter than hydrogen and could give a man the power of flight when into the bloodstream. Dickering injected himself, but soon discovered there was an unfortunate side effect, as his eyes began emitting uncontrollable rays that disintegrated whatever he looked at when he crossed the beams. The only thing that could stop these rays was ordinary glass, so he wore glass goggles to keep his powers under control and those around him safe. Realising that such a discovery could wreck humanity, Dickering destroyed the formula for the gas and decided to use his powers to benefit humanity. He designed a costume and adopting the superhero identity of the 'Comet'. Despite his tendency to callously disintegrate gangsters or to drop them to certain death, the police who knows his real identity welcomes the Comet on the force rather than trying to stop his vigilantism, and his reporter girlfriend Thelma Gordon assists him by running news-stories about the Comet's good deeds to get him in the public's good graces.
A while after he started his superhero career, he discovered that he could modify his gas intake, rendering him human when he wanted, so he could keep up a secret identity, but sadly for him that didn't stop the henchmen of a gangster named "Big Boy" Malone, which he had recently put away, to track The Comet to John's apartment and eventually kill him in front of his brother, Bob Dickering, who was thus inspired to become the brutal superhero 'The Hangman' himself in order to avenge John's death. I quess you can imagine John's surprise, when he woke up as fresh as a daisy in 2012. Since he learned of his brothers second career from fellow heroes he's restlessly searching for Bob who seems to have never existed like so many other people from the heroes past.

Original Powers:

At first John could only achieve flying leaps, but after repeated use of the gas he could actually fly. Additionaly his deadly "disolvo-vision" could disintegrate any matter except glass and with practice John became skilled enough with the beams to shoot bullets out the air.

Power Upgrade:

Possibly the first superhero killed in the line of duty, John came back from the dead in 2012 and discovered that the functionality of his eye beams was considerably boosted. He can now also release beams of pure solidified energy that causes concussive damage, with effects ranging from slight push, hard hit, and knock-out, to minor or major damage and shattering objects. The maximum force of these new optic blasts is big enough to punch a hole through a mountain.
