Mars, the God of War, decides to create a being with his likeness and sensibilities on Earth, to work in concert with the Axis powers during World War II. Unfortunately for the Germans, Mars miscalculated the rotation of the Earth, and Man of War came to life “in a peace-loving nation”, i.e. Dayton, Ohio, United States. At the same time, Nazi saboteurs blow up a Dayton munitions plant. Infused with American values, and rejecting his “father’s” ways, he sets out to root out the German spies and fight the Nazis at home and abroad. Man of War had super-human strength and heightened resistance to damage. He used the Flaming Sword of Mars, a magical weapon that was capable of cutting through anything. In Man of War #1, it was revealed that Man of War’s powers derived from the planets, and that trapping him in a lead chamber can block some sort of planetary “rays” and render him powerless. Of course, as long as he still had his sword, no chamber could hold him for long.
