Hugo was a man possessed of superhuman strength, speed and endurance. He used his amazing abilities to perform incredible feats, usually to win sports competitions or impress the ladies. However, he did fend off armed muggers, helped put out a house fire, and saved a number of lives. He was strong enough to lift an elephant with relative ease, and he was at least as fast as a locomotive, capable of pulling a train up to 20 miles. He outwrestled a bear and could not be stopped by an entire football team. His tag line was, "Just as easy..."

  • A good-natured man endowed with superhuman strength, the character of Hugo wandered about town, helping people with their problems and shocking them with his surprising displays of power. He was so strong he could pick up an elephant, kick a house like a football, wield an artillery cannon like a handgun, and lift a locomotive engine off the tracks and pull its cargo behind him at train speeds. Sometimes referred to as the first superhero, the strip was not a great success and Koerner eventually left comics to become a painter.
