Captain Mors was a former submarine captain, disillusioned with society, who takes on the persona of a masked air pirate, stealing from the rich and corrupt and giving to the poor, defending the weak along the way. He is, however, quite violent and vengeful. For instance, he hung from his airship three Russians who he blamed for both the death of his family and who forged papers that ruined his reputation. He generally wore a domino mask, a dark blue uniform with gold trim, and a mustache and beard. Captain Mors was a brilliant engineer who designed the two ships that he commanded. He had a large and fast dirigible and an interplanetary ship called the Meteor, which he used to travel the Solar System. Both ships were armored and capable of ramming other vehicles. He operated from a secret base on an island.
