During a battle on Earth, soldier John Carter seeks shelter in a cave where he's overcome by a strange vapour. Then a beam of light transports him to Mars. There the lighter gravity lets him make enormous leaps and gives him extraordinary strength! This comes in handy as Mars is composed of warrior cultures whose specialty is hand-to-hand combat. The Martians do have advanced science, with rockets and ray-pistols. Carter quickly takes sides with the local humanoids against four-armed giants. He befriends Dejah Thoris, a young woman whose royal blood makes her a political pawn in need of frequent rescues.

John grows up on the wrong side of the tracks--"Crossroad City's" Lower East Side. His father is a widower, a worn-out pug and lowlife crook. John's father accidentally kills his best friend, Officer Serf, during a robbery, and then kills himself. John goes to work as a clerk in the D.A.'s office and then joins the police force, fighting crime and implicitly stopping people from becoming like his father. He has no superpowers, but is "strong, decent, and believes in the rules he defends." He has no superpowers and is missing his left eye.

During the early days of World War Two "Soldier of Fortune" John Steele fights for the Allies in the European front lines. He's very strong, capable of knocking a man several feet into the air with one blow and ripping a steel hatch open with his bare hands (his strength is arguably superhuman). He's also a capable hand-to-hand fighter. And he's relentless, not willing to let a little thing like exploding grenades or dive-bombing Stukas slow him down.
