Crimson Avenger

The Crimson Avenger is the name of three separate superheroes and supervillains in the DC Comics universe. The character was created by Jim Chambers, first appearing in Detective Comics #20 (1938). The most well-known version of the character is Lee Walter Travis, a Golden Age cloaked vigilante who fought crime using a gas gun. His sidekick and valet is Wing How. Travis is credited as the first super-hero and has been a member of the All-Star Squadron and the Seven Soldiers of Victory. Albert Elwood also used the costume for a short-lived career during the Silver Age. In the modern era, Jill Carlyle became their successor, a woman wielding dual guns possessed by the Spirit of Vengeance. Carlyle became a member of the Justice Society of America.
