Percy van Norton was an American playboy who acquired a secret book of yogi. He studied it for years, until he became the world’s most perfect man. He had the strength of 100 elephants, the speed of a race car, and skin as tough as rhino hide. He put his super strength and genius-level mind to work fighting crime and foreign invasions. He also carried a boomerang rope. In Crash Comics #3, he stopped “Aissur” (Russia spelled backwards) from invading the nation of Rutania by defeating Aissurian troops and coercing it’s leader, “Linats,” into making peace. In Crash Comics #5, he stopped a thinly veiled Nazi Germany from invading a thinly veiled Poland. In both cases, he managed to stop the invasions in the span of a few hours, and his friends were none the wiser. Like many bored playboy characters, Percy passed himself off as a weak, generally useless hedonist among his society friends. He constantly traveled in the company of a small entourage, usually including at least two women who typically find him charming and useless. During the first three issues of Crash Comics, he wore a monocle in his civilian ID, presumably for the same reason as Clark Kent wore glasses.
