9. Adam Strange

Let's take it spaceward for our next entry.

Adam Strange was a normal archeologist, before he was accidentally hit with an energy beam that forcibly shunted him to the planet Rann. There he found a girlfriend and a destiny as a hero. But there’s one problem: When the energy from the Zeta Beam wears off, he unwillingly goes back to earth. Thankfully, he knows exactly where and when the Zeta Beams will hit earth so he travels across two planets, adventuring and saving worlds.

Adam Strange is classic "˜50s space adventure aesthetics applied to comic book storytelling. Like, this is a ray guns and jet packs story, and I love that so goshdarn much.

An Adam Strange series would be a seriously fun throwback TV show that would be unlike anything currently on the air. This could be to space travel what Legends of Tomorrow is to time travel.
