Endowed with wondrous magical powers, Mr. Mystic fights for his country in his own way. While lying in a hospital bed, Mr. Mystic tells his nurse how he came by his great powers. It all started just before the Nazis invaded Warsaw... While waiting for the last plane out, the man who would become Mr. Mystic runs into Professor Padewski and insists that the professor take his place on the plane. The good professor puts up a struggle, so Mr. Mystic knocks him unconscious and puts him on the plane. Subsequently, the man discovers that Padewski has left behind his briefcase containing the names of Nazi agents in America. Luckily, he secures an old plane and takes off for America only to get caught in a violent storm. Crash landing the plane in Tibet, the unnamed man finds himself trussed up while several lamas (Tibetan holy men) stare at him. The lamas tell their captive that he has been chosen to inherit all their wisdom through the magic brand of knowledge. Branded on the forehead with this mystic symbol, Mr. Mystic understands the mysteries of life and sets out to fight the dark forces of evil, which plague the world. His crusade would last for over a decade. |
