Real Name: UnrevealedSKY-WALKER
Real Name: Unrevealed
Identity/Class: Extraterrestrial space-traveler (claimed to be Earth-born).
Occupation: Unrevealed
Group Membership: Former prisoner on Stranger's laboratory world
Affiliations: Native of the planet Starron, former pawn of Overmind. Enemies: Presumably Daredevil. Known Relatives: Viela (lover). Aliases: The Sky-Walker from Starron; Starron (see comments). Base of Operations: formerly Earth and Stranger's
laboratory world, currently unknown. First Appearance: Daredevil I#128 (December 1975). Weaknesses: A strong longing for his adoptive planet (Starron) and his lover Viela. Height: 5' 8" History: (Daredevil I#128)- He claimed to have been born on earth, but
that his real home was another planet, which is presumably
Starron. Homesick for his planet and his lover,Viela, he sought
to leave Earth and return to them. To this end he traveled to
Flushing Meadow Park (home of the 1964-5 World's Fair) and
ascended a giant rocket in the Science Pavilion. He fired his
weapon, which generated a classic cartoon atom-shape explosion.
He absorbed this cosmic energy to form the star-steps and began
his journey. Unfortunately for him, he had the misfortune of getting in the
middle of a struggle between Death-Stalker and Daredevil.
Death-Stalker had stolen a series of lenses (forged by the
atlantean wizard C'Thunda more than 30,000 years ago, of course)
to make a laser device. Daredevil tracked Death-Stalker to the
Fairgrounds, where they fought, using the star-steps to carry
their fight into the air. Death-Stalker inadvertently bumped into
him and was teleported away, apparently back to the pocket
dimension in which he spent most of his time. (Quasar#14 (BTS))- At some point, he was captured by the Stranger and imprisoned
on his laboratory world. (Quasar#16)- When the Over-Mind
attacked the Stranger
on this planet, the walker was one of those sent to battle the
Stranger and his allies Quasar, Makkari, and the Squadron
Supreme. His fate after the conclusion of the battle is unknown,
but numerous inmates escaped, so it is entirely possible he
returned to his journey. Comments: Created by Marv Wolfman (writer), Bob Brown and Klaus Janson (artists). This character wins my award for Master of
Obscurity. No origin, no follow-up; he was not even named in
either appearance. Marvel Comics Index#9B lists him as
"Sky-Walker", but in the advertisement for
"Journey into Mystery" the four-part saga in
Quasar#13-16, the name Starron is one of those listed in the
background. Lastly, I couldn't quite place the walker in
Quasar#16, but Kurt Busiek (lord of all knowledge) named him as
the Sky-Walker from Starron. Perhaps Black Axe, Amentah and Sky-Walker were from the same kingdom that the Golden Age Hero Dynaman was from---Korug. Seeing that Dynaman was alive centuries after his Daring Mystery Comics#6 (9/40) story took place: see Avengers/Invaders#12 (8/09) during World War 2. So Dynaman is either also immortal or time travel, resurrection or suspended animation was used to get him to the 1940s. Sky-Walker has an entry in Marvel Legacy: The 1970's Handbook.

Powers/Abilities: In
addition to his access to advanced weaponry, he wore full body
armor, which enabled him to survive in the vacuum of space. The
boots contained suction cups enabling him to scale vertical
surfaces. He carried an energy rifle which was connected to twin
fuel pods on his back. He was also able to form
"Star-Steps" on which he ascended out of Earth's
atmosphere.
Weight: 120 lbs.
Eyes: White

By the time Daredevil regained his bearings, the walker was
long gone, having continued his walk into space. He made some
vague threat against Daredevil and vanished into the blackness of
space.
