SAMURAI
The Japanese Warrior
ORIGIN
Japanese history professor Toshio Eto was teaching class one
day when suddenly a mystical bolt of energy hit him. The bolt
of energy had been sent from emissaries of the New Gods who
were in need of super heroes. The strange energy enveloped Eto
and released the latent energy in his body, transforming him
into the Samurai. Using his newfound powers of the hurricane
and wielding an energy sword, the Samurai mistakenly caused
havoc until the transformation was explained to him and he decided
to be a force for good.
FIGURE STATS
The Samurai comes with his lightning shaped yellow sword. By
twisting his waist many times and then squeezing his arms, the
Samurai's lower body spins around like a foolish wind.
COMMENTS
Created in the late 1970's for the Super Friends cartoon,but
never appearing in the legitimate DC universe, the Samurai has
never been all that popular a figure. On the one hand, he shares
a similar unique power with Cyclotron and has a cloth tunic
that is well made. On the other hand...who thought up this lame
character?
