NEXUS is the brainchild of Mike Baron and Steve Rude, being first published in 1981,

Nexus primarily uses his powers, for the betterment of his planet Ylum and its inhabitants. Ylum is a home for people, who have suffered persecution across the galaxy, a safe haven.
In this remarkable work of literature, we find nexus light-years across the galaxy, hunting down multiple criminals on the mercs list,(think multitasking). Unawares that in his own corner of the universe, GOURMANDO (the devourer of planets) COMETH!
