Mercury Man was a superhero published by Charlton Comics in their Science Fiction anthology title Space Adventures after they stopped published Captain Atom stories in the early 1960s. In many ways, Mercury Man was similar to other nuclear-powered superheroes of the time, such as Captain Atom, Doctor Solar, and Nukla. He would be more interested in stopping foreign powers (i.e., Communists) than criminals.

  • Merco, the Mercury Man, was the last of a race of people from Mercury. His people were much like humans, ruled by greed, hatred, and fear. They developed ever more powerful weapons until they destroyed themselves and reduced their world to a desert. The only survivor was Merco, who had accidentally discovered a way to transform himself into pure mercury. He experimented on himself and the metallic Mercury Man. His powers include flight, the ability to survive in a vacuum, near invulnerability, nuclear powers, and limited telepathy (he could contact Dr. Penn but not determine her gender). He looks different from humans because of his wing-like ears and small ankle wings (similar to the Roman god Mercury or the Greek god Hermes).

  • Merco, the Mercury Man, was the last of a race of people from Mercury. His people were much like humans, ruled by greed, hatred, and fear. They developed ever more powerful weapons until they destroyed themselves and reduced their world to a desert. The only survivor was Merco, who had accidentally discovered a way to transform himself into pure mercury. He experimented on himself and the metallic Mercury Man. His powers include flight, the ability to survive in a vacuum, near invulnerability, nuclear powers, and limited telepathy (he could contact Dr. Penn but not determine her gender). He looks different from humans because of his wing-like ears and small ankle wings (similar to the Roman god Mercury or the Greek god Hermes). The Mercury Man came to Earth to save it from the same fate as his world. He saved the United States from a nuclear attack, and stopped a war in Africa by blowing up the soldiers' weapons. His actions made the world take notice, inspiring the newspaper headline: "Warlike Peacemaker." He also telepathically contacted a brilliant American scientist, Dr. Erika Penn,who he was pleased and surprised to find was female. Dr. Penn gave him the power to transform into a normal human, then transform back into Mercury Man. He could only use his powers in his metallic form. In his next adventure, Mercury Man took some warmongers to his devastated homeworld of Mercury. He hoped that if they saw the results of nuclear war they would change their ways. However, they refused, so he left them marooned on Mercury.
