The Alien Champion

1st app.- Strange Tales # 98

The alien champion came to earth at the United Nations building, and declared to the earth's population that his race would soon invade the earth, but that if any human could best him at any physical or mental feat, the invasion would be called off. First, he tried wrestling, and outfought four wrestlers at once. Next, he played baseball and knocked the ball 1,000 miles from the stadium! Another ball landed in Brazil. Russia then stepped in, and challenged him to best their weight lifters. He not only lifted the more than 1,000 pound dumbbell their weight lifter carried, but lifted the weight lifter and podium at the same time! Next he tried golf, and made over 5 hole-in-ones. After that, he climbed the Swiss Alps, easily speeding past the human climbers he was competing against, despite his seemingly large bulk. He also went on to train animals to perform outrageous stunts, outswam a nuclear-powered vessel in the Pacific Ocean, and beat over 8 champion chess players at once.
Finally, reporter Frank Taylor stepped in, and challenged the alien to one last contest. He claimed that one of earth's greatest sports was sleeping, and that humans would try to outsleep one another. The record, according to Taylor, was 1,000,000 years. The alien proudly declared that he would sleep for 2,000,000 years! The alien then went to sleep in a cave, and earth was saved. Guards were placed on the cave in case he should awake, but if he should sleep the full 2,000,000 years, he would find that by then, earth would be able to compete more fairly against him.

The alien champion was an exceptionally gifted creature in all areas of physical and mental challenges. He could out-wrestle four men at once, strike baseballs so hard that they landed in other countries, lift a weight lifter while he lifted over 1000 pounds, get hole-in-one after hole-in-one in golf, climb the Swiss Alps, train animals, swim the entire Pacific Ocean faster than a nuclear-powered vessel, and out-play over 8 chess players at once.
