Sword (Quality)

Golden Age Origin
Ace reporter, Chic Carter, was framed for murder. So, he became the costumed crusader known as the Sword to prove he was an innocent man. Armed only with a rapier, the Sword was unhampered by the limitations of the law and could fight crime much faster than Chic Carter could expose it as a reporter. After proving his innocence, Carter would continue to use his costumed identity from time to time, but would also have adventures without donning his costume much like Tony Trent a.k.a. the Face. His enemies included the Black Baron.
