The most challenging aspect of being a hero is continuing to act heroically even when the world at large despises you. It might seem ridiculous to consider that a hero, one that could be considered a superhero no less, would ever be hated for who they are and what they do, but that is the sad reality for one of DC’s most enduring science fiction characters. Adam Strange, the wayward Earthman flung far out into a distant star system, did his very best to not only take care of himself and the woman he fell in love with, but also the alien planet he came to call home. Adam’s altruism came at a cost, however: the people of this planet came to resent him, hate him, and eventually rallied against him. In many ways, Adam Strange exists as the realistic foil to DC’s other resident wayward alien, Superman. Where Superman is revered and loved for his incredible feats and powers, Adam Strange is shunned and looked down upon.
