HOTW- The Amazing Mr. X

 

Mr. X was a British hero who was super strong.  His real name is Les Manners.  He didn't fight glamorous villains, and he only had 14 appearances in the children's magazine Dandy.  His first appearance was in issue #272, way back in August of 1944.  He is technically the UK's first superhero, or at least Britain's.  I will leave the distinction up to those know such things.

I haven't found any color pictures, but it is a dandy outfit.  He could later fly.  It would be fun to read these stories, and see what they were like.  I am surprised he isn't more well known, though.
