Origin[]
Yarko the Great was a talented stage magician but, secretly, also a real mage. Using his vast magical abilities, he battled criminals and supernatural forces.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Yarko possessed force field projection, duplication, shape-shifting, invisibility, intangibility, exorcism, telekinesis, levitation, and whatever else the plot required.
- He had one weakness, though - he could not use his magic unless he could see.
Yarko speaks his spell backwards.

Notes[]
- Mr. Mystic apparently started out as a character inspired by Yarko the Great (from the same creator).
