American scholar John Stern became the unwitting heir to the sorcerer Avince, after helping his spirit take revenge on Milo, the rival sorcerer who murdered him. Stern decided to use his new knowledge to fight against the chaotic forces that haunt humanity, becoming a mystery man, whom the world would know as the Master Mystic. The Master Mystic had a tower, the Keep, in Nepal the top of the world, whose entrance was in the former mansion of the sorcerer Avince on the outskirts of Pelican Bay (Florida). The Master Mystic joined with other mystery men of his time to form the Crime Busters. He has also been part of the Battle Squadron during World War II.
Master Mystic was able to travel between the material plane and the astral plane at will, being able to transcend both space and time itself. Furthermore, he was able to move unseen through the physical plane, he could levitate, communicate telepathically, subdue demonic creatures, turn into mist, materialize things out of thin air, and emit powerful mystical rays capable of dissolving the most resistant materials. These were just some of his abilities, since thanks to Avince's library and occult objects collection, John Stern had a mystical arsenal that was very difficult to quantify.
