Lars of Mars: The Greatest Hero of Mars disguised as an Earth actor Playing a Martian on TV.

Back in 1951, Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel and future Silver Age artist extraordinaire Murphy Anderson came up with a new super-hero, Lars of Mars.

Lars of Mars was a law enforcement agent of the Supreme Council, the ruling body of Mars. When the Supreme Council learned that a hydrogen bomb was successfully tested on Earth, it became alarmed. The hydrogen bombs were used in a devastating war between Mars and Venus millions of years ago, and the Council was worried that humanity would start the war anew once it enters space. They decided to send Lars to Earths a peacekeeping agent who would stop any possibility to interstellar war by fighting against “forces of evil” that would seek the disrupt the peace.

When he arrived on Earth, Lars witnessed a woman being attacked by two robots, but after attacking them he discovered they were merely actors. June Conway, the TV producer, assumed that Lars was a wanna-be actor who chose a particularly creative way to audition for a lead row in her TV show – the Man from Mars. Lars decided to play along, figuring that it would be a great cover for his real mission.

From that point on, he worked as a lead actor and fought the “forces of evil” in his spare time. That included criminals, Soviet agents and other people who wished to cause harm. He was aided by the Interplanetary Intelligence Department – the Martian intelligence agency that monitored other planets throughout the Solar System.
