The Penguin was a detective and master spy who protected Canada against Axis spies, saboteurs, and infiltrators during World War II. Wearing a coat and tails and a distinctive face mask, the Penguin was an acrobat, expert hand-to-hand combatant, marksman, master detective and the most prominent mystery man in Canada, so much so that his true identity became one of the secrets that spies most sought from Canada. However, it was well known among evil-doers that those who saw the face of the Penguin did not have long to live. As the war progressed, The Penguin started to execute spy-hunting expeditions below the 49th parallel into the United State. During these, he kept the same clothing as before but called himself the Blue Raven, perhaps to avoid confusion with an American villain who used the same motif. The most likely candidate for being the Penguin was Bruce Baron, a well known “neo-socialite.”
