American Crusader

Here's my Mighty Protectors write-up for American Crusader, a golden age superhero who debuted in Thrilling Comics #19, published by Better Publications, Inc. in August, 1941.

After having discovered a new planet near Uranus, Professor Archibald Masters runs to inform another professor about his discovery. Excited by his find, he's unaware that he is running through a room where an atom-smasher experiment is being conducted. The energy released almost kills him, leaving him in a deep coma for days. When he awakens, he quickly learns that he has super-powers, and begins a career as the crime-fighting American Crusader!

His secretary is an attractive woman named Jane Peters who is very often kidnapped, knocked-out, taken prisoner, or in put into danger and her life is threatened. Unbeknownst to Jane, her meek boss is also the super-powered American Crusader, who saves her time after time.
