Mighty Man

Real Name: Unknown

First Appearance: Amazing Man Comics #5 (1939)

Original Publisher: Centaur

Created by: Martin Filchock

Origin:

Some time in the late 1800s, a group of pioneers entered a secret valley where everything was several times the normal size. They were unable to find their way out, so they settled. While most of them seem to have died out, one of their children survived. Because he was born within the valley, he was as tall as everything else there. He stood about 15 feet high and possessed incredible strength, even for his gigantic size. He became known as Mighty Man. He was trapped in the valley until a pair of prospectors discovered him and helped him enter the outside world. At first, he adventured throughout American west, overpowering his opponents through his strength and natural size. Eventually, he submitted to an experiment by his friend, the professor. The experiment gave him the ability to shrink to the size of a mouse or expand over a hundred feet tall, and he could also change his features.

Mighty Man aided Super Ann in his later appearances, but for some reason, he deliberately made sure the young heroine never actually saw him face-to-face.
