4) THE MASKED LIZARD
Though Vaughn Bodē’s Strontium 90 is probably better-known, this lizard is more definitely a superhero, and is the first of what would become a veritable army of Bodē lizards. Rocketed into space from the lost planet Salamandria, the Masked Lizard crashed on Earth, using his power of ‘Swift And Blinding Violence’ to fight evil. Of course, he is caught and killed by his enemies at the end of his first appearance, which seems like a fitting end for the character, but only the beginning for Bodē.
