          Not trying to just bump this or anything, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread for this. I've been getting a little too engrossed in this lately and have actually written up an entire real-life, alternate reality backstory for the characters (talk about too much time on your hands! ).

          Wayne Brighton originally made his debut in the pages of issue #3 of Galactic Comics' "Incredible Fantasies". He quickly became a regular in the comic series, eventually garnering a comic of his own in 1940, "Wayne Brighton: Hero from Outerspace". Wayne's popularity grew immensely in the next 3 years, and in 1943 he got his own 12-part film serial, "Wayne Brighton and the Invasion from Valcior", starring Buster Crabbe, who also played Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers in their respective serials. The serial didn't do as well the latter two, despite a considerably larger budget. Today the serial is more infamous than famous, mainly due to the horrible third-degree burns suffered by the original actor who played the main villain, who had to be recast due to the incident. At the time of the serial's release, false rumors swirled that the original main villain had died in the incident, possibly contributing to it's poor sales. By the mid-1960's, Wayne Brighton had lost most of his popularity, and in 1967, the long running comic book series ended rather unceremoniously, with a cliffhanger that would sadly never be resolved. One year later, Galactic Comics went under, and sold the rights to Wayne Brighton to DC Comics. DC sat on the license for years, until 1981, around the time that Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon saw a resurgence in popularity, when Wayne Brighton finally got his own feature-length film. The movie was a flop at the box-office, but still retains a rather large cult following today. Wayne Brighton, once again, went into hibernation. However, Paramount Pictures and DC Comics have announced that in 2012, Wayne Brighton will fight another day in the sci-fi, special fx bonanza, "Wayne Brighton and the Invasion from Valcior", a remake of the 1943 film serial classic. Along with the film, DC has also announced a brand new comic book line, that is said to take the 1930's style of Wayne Brighton and give it a "21st-century twist".

          Like I said, I got too engrossed.
