The Myth-Master In the year 1964, during a low point in his dreary life, Loony Leo came under the influences and evil guidance of the villain, ZZardo. History The Myth-Master Incident After being "rescued" by Zzardo and promised a chance to die, Loony Leo became the Myth-Master and agreed to destroy Honor Guard. He conjured up figures from folklore and fiction to battle with the super-team. Achilles- The legendary Greek Warrior Blackbeard- The notorious pirate D'Artagnan- from The Three Musketeers Gort- The robot from The Day the Earth Stood Still Joe Magarac- A legendary steelworker Pecos Bill- A legend in tall tales of the American West Quetzalcoatl- A Mesoamerican deity known as the Feathered Serpent The Witch- The witch from "Hansel and Gretel" Even with the legendary Joe Magarac apparently switching sides, Honor Guard, with all of their powers, couldn't overtake the beings of fantasy, myth and imagination. The Myth-Master captured them and used his innate powers to drain their psychic energies. But just as they were on the verge of fading from existence, he relented. He just couldn't kill them, or anyone for that matter. Loony Leo revealed his true identity and captured his henchman, Zzardo. The Silver Agent and the others were sympathetic to Leo's plight, and even though a trial was scheduled, steps were taken to keep everything low key and hushed up. The general public never knew the identity of the entity behind the mask of the Myth-Master. Equipment Leo wielded a belief focus, a power that could soak up psychic energy, which could then be manipulated in any manner he choose to imagine.
