Arthur Lake, son of John Lake, president of Lake Aircraft, accompanied his father on a business trip to England, where Arthur found the tomb of King Arthur, along with his legendary blade, Excalibur, sheathed in a stone. He pulled the sword out of the stone, gaining superhuman powers and transforming from a teenager into an older superhero. He is superhumanly strong but not invulnerable (perhaps because he lacks the legendary scabbard of Excalibur, which protects from all wounds). As “The Sword” he fights both the Nazis and the evil sorceress Morgana. He soon gained two sidekicks, his friend Lance Larter and a plant worker named Moe Lynn, and when drew his sword and transformed, both Larter and Lynn gained powers of their own. Lance Larter became the Lancer, with similar powers as Sword, while Moe Lynn became Merlin. Arthur could only draw the sword when he was pure of heart. The magic was fairly strict, forbidding him to use the sword when he’d been rude to a witch who had cursed his father’s factory, and only allowed to wield it again when he’d saved a cat from a tree.
