The Face

Here is another Mighty Protectors write-up of a Golden-Age superhero. This time it's The Face, an athletic radio announcer who fights against the Axis forces during World War II while wearing a frightening rubber mask!

Yes, the premise is goofy... but more often than not goofy is what we got back in those golden age comics. The Face, created by Mart Bailey, debuted in Big Shot Comics #1, published May 1940. The comic ran until #104, the final issue.

This write-up reflects his stats and abilities as they existed as a starting superhero.

  1. 104 issues for a radio announcer in a rubber mask? That's as delightfully absurd as the premise :-)
