Black Lion and Cub

First Appearance: Wonderworld Comics #21 (January 1941)

Original Publisher: Fox Features

Created by: Jerome Peters

Golden Age Origin:

George Davis, a very successful (and therefore bored) big game hunter, decides to go after the most dangerous game and begins hunting criminals.

He is never specifically said to have superpowers, but the stories show him surviving otherwise mortal wounds in superhuman fashion. He is cat-like in his agility and strength and is a good fighter.

He is helped by his side-kick, Cub.

Larry Davis is the nephew of George Davis, the Black Lion. Larry ends up serving as his sidekick and ward when Larry’s father and George’s brother, Jon, is killed.

Black Lion and the Cub battled Blitz, the notorious super-criminal.
