The Fawcett comics hero, Mr Scarlet, is Brian Butler, a District Attorney. As a DA he can’t assign all of the crooks and criminals away, so at night he dresses up in a vivid crimson costume and goes out to kick criminal butts. The Public Domain superheroes net location calls him a “vigilante,” which, to Brian, is okay. If he goes across the law, smartly then, why no longer? He’d doubtlessly simplest get dangle of bounced from place of work if the voters knew. And even no longer. Within the skills Mr Scarlet and Pinky appeared the notion of a vigilante wasn’t as shady as it is now.
Mr Scarlet (and Pinky) were spherical for a few years as secondary characters, never getting their have silly e-book, unlike a entire lot of alternative Fawcett heroes.
What very much surprised me is that author France Herron and artist Jack Kirby are given credit ranking for growing Mr Scarlet. I need to quiet no longer be very much surprised, because I have always felt that Jack Kirby could well additionally arrive up with a superhero at the snap of his mercurial-drawing fingers. However in my arrangement, Mr Scarlet seems mostly from hunger, derived from other superheroes.
