Augustus J. "A." Mutt
Powers. None (ordinary human; comedic everyman gambler)
Origin
Mutt is one half of the classic comedy duo from the long-running newspaper comic strip by Bud Fisher, a tall, lanky schemer who first found his way into DC's early comic book publishing through reprints of the beloved strip. No superhero origin here — just an everyman hustler whose misadventures alongside his short partner Jeff made him one of the earliest recurring characters in American comics history.
