Who is Auro?

Auro, Lord of Jupiter, indeed has two distinct incarnations in Planet Comics . Here's a quick breakdown of both: First Incarnation First Appearance: Planet Comics #1 (January 1940). Created by Malcolm Kildale. Auro was the son of Professor Hardwich and found himself stranded on Jupiter. In this version, Auro was akin to an outer space version of Tarzan , living in the wilds of Jupiter, where he was befriended by a saber-tooth tiger. His immense physical strength, described as "as strong as steel," was due to Jupiter’s higher gravitational pull (like John Carter , Iron Munro , first version of Superman ...). Auro was featured in the first 29 issues of Planet Comics . Second Incarnation First Appearance: Planet Comics #41 (March 1946).
