The Lamplighter

A night-prowling, American Revolutionary themed costumed hero of the World War II era.

History

The Lamplighter retired in 1959, as the newer guard of heroes of the 1950s started stepping into the spotlight.


Observations

  • a handful of Astro City stories refer to the Lamplighter Statues. These are a set of laws that allow superheroes to testify in criminal(but not civil) trials without having to reveal their secret identities. They are named after the Lamplighter, implying that he was the first superhero whose testimony in public trails was challenged unless he revealed his actual legal identity.

Speculations, Theories

He may have served in the Pacific theater during WWII.(Note the Life Cover says "Super heroics' in the South Pacific," which could imply dual meanings.)
