"It is the year 1982, and civilization, exhausted by the second and third World Wars, has been conquered by a Mongol horde! The ruler of the world is Emperor Seng I! From his palace in New-New York, he governs with despotic might all civilized people, who groan under his oppression!" Power Nelson, a young man, is chosen by a group of scientists to be the test subject for a special experiment. It works, giving him "the strength of a steam engine and the hardness of tempered steel." In a unique twist, Gene West wore an eye-patch to disguise himself in his civilian identity, removing it when the strength of Power Nelson was needed.

Kerry Latimer, a Brit visiting Chicago one Christmas Eve, is visited by an old man who gives him a present "from the mists of time." It turns out to be a copy of A Christmas Carol, and what's more, when it's opened a ghost appears before Latimer and tells him that "On the dawn of Christmas Day you will become a crime-fighting force endowed with super-human gifts! Use this strength and wisdom to bring about good in this upset world! Farewell!" Naturally, when he wakes up he's super-powered and has a new costume, and so he goes out and fights crime in America. He has super-strength, super-speed, and is invulnerable to bullets.
