Lord of Death

Strokor is a creation of writer, Homer Eon Flint in a 1919 pulp story. He is, by human standards, extremely strong and of at least genius intelligence.

As described in a blurb in the 1939 Famous Fantastic Mysteries magazine, Vol. 1 No. 3, reprint;

"All powerful Strokor, the iron-voiced dictator of Mercury when the Earth was young, wanted Ave, the girl who was different, to be his wife and mother of a new race. Edam, the dreamer, who looked like Ave, Strokor feared not. That was his fatal mistake"
