Caractacus

Hailing from across the pond - that is to say, the guy was british - Caractacus was one of those throwback heroes you see all the time coming out of Europe. The kind swinging swords and half of them talk in rhyme or Latin or whatnot. He rode into battle wearing a loincloth, a cape, and might I say a luxurious and manly moustache.

Unlike the Man of the States himself, Caractacus was not officially backed by his country's government or military - but that didn't stop their boys breathing a sigh of relief when he showed up on the battlefield to lend a hand.

Modern mythologists and costumed historians agree that Caractacus almost certainly had no actual superpowers, though he was clearly a strong man. In an official capacity, he only carred into battle his shield, but he was happy to pick up a gun should the need arise. As a defender of England, he developed a rivalry with General Blitzkrieg, culminating in the near-death of both men in a momentary incident of Antipower . Because of the Hiroshima Incident the war was over before this rivalry could be truly resolved. With the British Isles safe from the Nazi menace, Caractacus was never seen since.

I guess a loincloth is the type of costume you can only pull off when you're young.
