Enchanted Dagger

Roger’s father Henry Chalmers once saved the chief of the African Mountain Men from a jungle beast. The chief was grateful and promised to give Chalmers the “enchanted dagger” when he returned. However, he does not return and ends up dying several years later, so his son Roger Chalmers travels to the jungle, only to find the tribe in danger once again. The Mountain Men were under attack by the Longees tribe. Roger fought them off and was then given the dagger promised to his father so many years before. Chalmers found the dagger eerie, but kept the blade, which had the following inscribed on it: “The true owner shall forever be immune to its great powers”. He decided to become a crime fighter called Enchanted Dagger and fought criminals in Washington, DC. His enemies included Carro. Roger Chalmers has no superpowers, but his dagger did have several magic powers. It paralyzed anyone it landed near, and also forced them to tell the truth. Roger was immune to the dagger’s powers since he was the “true owner” of the blade.
