Weird Comics #5 from Fox Feature Syndicate saw the debut of a weird character indeed. The Dart has his origin in the Roman era of Sulla.
The Dart's origin story seemingly takes place around 83-81 BC during what is called Sulla's Civil War, which was fought betweenLucius Cornelius Cinna
. Sulla, Marius and Lucius are all named characters in the story. Caius Martius is aligned with Sulla, who is characterized as the hero of this moment, despite him seizing Rome by force and, and perhaps setting the precedent for Caesar. Notably, the story's repeated claim of"2200 years ago" was off by about a century, with the likely period between that era and 1940 being closer to 2100 years.
To end the interference of Caius Martius' quest for justice, Marius orders Lucius to capture Caius Martius and put an end to his activities. Lucius does this by using occult powers to dissolve his body into a stone altar for 2200 years. Martius awakens in a museum in 1940 New York City, where he uses his vague"darting" power and ancient Roman combat skills to once again take up the fight against racketeers and extortionists.
