I don't know who would have won that fight. Dracula can't hurt Man-thing by biting him because he's made out of swamp matter, and the shambling Man-thing can't burn a being who knows no fear ("whatever knows fear burns at the Man-thing's touch")<br />And yeah, Mr. Fear was kinda cool. He had a purple costume with a hood and fright mask, and a gun or something that would shoot fear-gas at you. He was always a lot of fun at parties!<br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-46580239111409853252016-03-20T22:38:23.001+00:002016-03-20T22:38:23.001+00:00TC and Dougie, thanks for the information.

Sadly, there are no Steve Does Comics awards but, if there were, you'd definitely deserve them.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-11350587310143038462016-03-20T22:33:18.065+00:002016-03-20T22:33:18.065+00:00Don't know if Death-Stalker was ever Mr. Fear,...Don't know if Death-Stalker was ever Mr. Fear, but both had so many incarnations it's hard to keep them straight. <br /><br />The Exterminator first appeared in Daredevil #39 in 1968, and returned as Death-Stalker in DD #113 in 1974. Judging by his costume, I suspect that he thought he was the Shadow, the Spider, or Darkwing Duck.<br /><br />The original Mr. Fear was a mad scientist type named Zoltan Drago in DD #6 (1965). The second version was in DD #54 and #55. He was Starr Saxon, who had murdered Drago and assumed his identity. Saxon fell off of his flying saucer thingie while fighting Daredevil and was apparently killed. <br /><br />In Captain America #249 (1980), Cap fought robot minions of the villain Machinesmith, who turned out to be Saxon. Cap smashed the computer that controlled the robots. It turned out that Saxon's robots had found his badly injured body, and had transferred his consciousness into the computer. <br /><br />Machinesmith had appeared in Marvel Two-In-One #47 in 1979, but I don't know if the Mr. Fear/Star Saxon connection was mentioned there.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686814973788356726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-69932299452972955522016-03-20T20:25:13.536+00:002016-03-20T20:25:13.536+00:00Maybe you're thinking of the first Psycho Man ...Maybe you're thinking of the first Psycho Man story with the Inhumans and Black Panther. Think that might've been around the time of the first Defenders reprint.
