Black Super Hero History Month!
Today, I give you:
Amazing Man!
The DC Comics's character's first appearance was July 1983.
Will Everett had competed in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, but afterwards ended up working as a janitor in a laboratory. There was an explosion in the lab, which gave him the ability to mimic anything he touched (ie, if he touched a steal girder, his body would become steel; if he touched a brick wall, his body would become brick, etc).
He served with the Justice Society of America during World War II. At a later date, he lost the mimicry powers but gained powers over magnetism. In the 1950s, J. Edgar Hoover revealed his secret identity to the public, thus endangering his family. During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, he was active in marches and protests. His final fate is unknown, although it IS known that his grandson inherited his mimicing abilities.
