Aladdin

Golden Age Origin
Aladdin is tricked by a determined sorceror, posing as Aladdin's uncle, to retrieve a magic lamp from a booby trapped cave. Upon obtaining the lamp, the sorceror attempts to double cross Aladdin, and Aladdin is trapped in the cave with the magic lamp, and soon becomes the master of the genie who lives within. Aladdin is granted three wishes by the genie, and becomes rich and powerful, marrying Princess Badroulbadour, daughter of the emperor.
