HISTORY 

Eunice "Sugar" Kane was the owner of a small candy store in the Whiz Valley shopping center. There she sold her famous "Saucer Sweets", named after Miss Kane's favorite hero, who was none other than Captain Saucer-Man. Eunice's business was threatened by Otto "Dandy" Kandie, a tycoon who wanted to take over the property by any means, legal or not. Van Crawford (who was secretly Captain Saucer-Man) had recently met Sugar and decided to help her keep her business (even if he had to use her heroic alter-ego to do so). After some adventures (during which Sugar Kane discovered Vance's secret identity) the couple managed to defeat the evil Mr. Kandie and together they founded the Kane-Crawford Candy Co. Their friendship turned into a courtship and not long after, the courtship bore fruit in marriage. Sugar and Vance were not only companions in life and love, she became also his inseparable companion in adventures, even being part (more as patrons than as active heroes, it must be said) of the Crime Busters and the Battle Squadron. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Sugar did not possess special powers, although she was a very determined and resourceful woman. For a brief period, she acquired powers similar to Vance's, calling herself Saucer-Woman.

HISTORY 

Vance "Van" Crawford was a carefree wealthy heir, a world expert in hobbies of all kinds. One day, while playing golf, he witnessed a UFO crash very close to where he was. Van did not hesitate to approach the ship and inside it found a dying techno-organic creature. While trying to help the being, the alien came into physical contact with Van. The creature spoke a few words in its unintelligible tongue, then its form liquefied into a dark fluid that washed into Van. Vance woke up in his bed a few hours later thinking that maybe it had just been a bad dream brought on by indigestion. However, Van discovered that he was able to "manifest" a strange suit, and that when he did, he gained extraordinary powers that he did not quite understand or master. The latter did not dissuade him from using them, moreover, Van became a superhero. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Van was a round guy, albeit tremendously agile for his weight and bulk. He was not a good fighter, and he was somewhat clumsy, but no one could beat him in will and courage. When he was in the form of Captain Saucer Man, Van was able to fly faster than sound, fire force bolts, deflect bullets, survive in the vacuum of space or the seafloor, and was also able to communicate telepathically. It is possible that the uniform-symbiote possessed more powers, but it is unknown.
