Origin

Mike, Doc Strange's side-kick, was too young to drink 'Alosun' and gain the same abilities as his mentor, but assists in crime fighting regardless. At first, Doc was reluctant to accept Mike's assistance - after all, he was a non-powered kid - but Mike persisted and eventually, Doc accepted him as a sidekick.

Notes

• The Nedor comics were renewed by Popular Library, which was eventually bought out by Fawcett Books. When Fawcett went out of business, Popular Library was sold to Warner Bros. A number of different publishers, however, are currently/have been using these characters without any lawsuits from Warner Bros., so any action over them is (probably) unlikely. They are still, however, "use at your own risk" characters.
