Could be Superhero of the day, could be a toy deal

I grew up in an age of rampant commercialism.  It was a magical era where movies had toys and toys had cartoons, and best of all...they both had comics.

My fave comic of the era was the Micronauts.  I had the comics and the toys and the novels and there are, in fact, the coolest thing ever.

But among the coolest thing ever was the simplest toy ever,  Th Micronauts action figures were the kings of generic and interchangeable parts.  I remember the Galactic Defender, and  The Space Glider, but the most important and the most Ubiquitous was The Time Traveler.
He was cool because he was see through and came in multiple colors, but the comics made him cooler when they would draw him like.
Or put him on a book cover like.
But the Traveler didn't just look cool.  He was cool.  He was the protector and savior of his race, the creator of the Microverse.  Read the bio, and try to discover more on your own.

That is my gig, to give you a taste so you'll try and discover more

the Time Traveler

Prince Wayfinder was the leader of a planet called Ithaka that suffered an unknown catastrophe which caused the surviving inhabitants to wander the stars in search of a home. Eventually they found Earth in its ancient prehistoric state, where they quickly erected a city intending to make it their new home. However, the Earth was also home to ancient and evil creatures that would best be described as demons. In order to save his people, he used an ancient artifact known as The Sword In The Star to create a place of escape for his people. The Sword In The Star created a microscopic universe for the Ithakans to escape to, and imbued Prince Wayfinder with phenomenal cosmic power. Using his new found power of The Enigma Force, Prince Wayfinder, now called Time Traveller, bound the demons beyond time and space, allowing the Ithakans to go forth and populate The Microverse.

Ta ta until tomorrow
