US Movie Serial Masked/Mystery Heroes
Most
of these good guys wear costumes or other disguises to
conduct their crime-fighting. The identity of a few heroes
(The Lone Ranger, The Black Falcon, The Masked Marvel)
remains secret until the end of the story. Some (The Green
Archer, the Mystery Rider) are phantom do-gooders who
appear and disappear quickly, often simply giving warnings
of danger. The true identities of Captain Video, the White
Butterfly, and Captain Africa, among others, are never
revealed at all.
