American Crusader

Golden Age Origin
An astronomy professor at a university in the Eastern United States, Archie Masters created a device called an atom smasher, but the experiment went awry. Instead of killing him, the accident blasted him with radiation, which endowed him with various superhuman abilities. He used these powers to fight crime as the American Crusader.
