1930s pulp hero. A former
criminal himself, Caray Adair waged an unceasing war against
crime in the guise of the seemingly superhuman Captain Satan, along with his reformed
gangster pals Doc, Happy, Frenchie, Soapy, Big Bill, and Gentlemen Dan. Captain Satan took the
Robin Hood route by turning the ill-gotten profits of the
mob bosses he defeated over to the poor. His
calling card was a
devil figure projected onto the wall over his
pummeled victims by a flashlight with the symbol taped over the lens.
Sounds a bit expensive to me. Flashlights don't grow on trees, y'know. Maybe he was trying to lord it over more budget-conscious crimefighters like the Green Hornet and the Spider, who used ink.
