Golden Age Origin
John Battle, a veteran of World War I, saw that another war was coming and decided to stop it before it could happen. He was wounded in the first war and didn't want to see that happen to anyone else. He set up a laboratory on top of a mountain and began fighting against warmongers. Besides his various assistants, such as his secretary Jane Lorrain, he was partnered with his son, Captain Battle Jr. and sidekick, Nathan Hale. Captain Battle also teamed up with heroes such as Lance Hale. He had no superpowers but has advanced technology, including the Curvoscope, which allowed him to see anywhere on earth, a Dissolvo Gun which disintegrated matter, a gyroscope-like Luceflyer, and a jetpack. His enemies included Black Dragon and his Deaglos as well as Baron Doom .
