The American Crusader is a fictional character, a superhero who originally appeared in ''Thrilling Comics'' #19 (Better Publications, 1941). The character was revived in the Modern Age in ''Femforce'' #59, by AC Comics, and in ''Tom Strong'' #11, by Alan Moore and Chris Sprouse. ==Character history== His secret identity is Professor Archibald (Archie) Masters, an astronomy professor at an unnamed university in the Eastern United States. The character debuted in 1941, his mousy alter-ego being similar to that of Superman's Clark Kent identity. He accidentally got caught in a room with a device called an atom smasher, and, inevitably, the experiment went awry. Instead of killing him, the accident blasted him with radiation, which endowed him with various superhuman abilities. He used these powers to fight crime as the American Crusader. Prof. Masters had a secretary named Jane Peters. The Crusader had a teen sidekick named Mickey Martin. The Crusader appeared in the following titles in the Golden Age: * ''America's Best Comics'' #6 * ''Thrilling Comics'' #19-35, 37-39, 41 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Crusader」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
