Raven (Ace)

Detective Sergeant Danny Dartin was frustrated by criminals who had enough money and influence to escape justice, so he put on a costume and became the Raven. He targeted the criminals’ cash and redistributed it to the poor, like Robin Hood. He found an on-again, off-again love interest in Lola Lash, the daughter of NYC’s Police Chief. At first, Lola was suspicious of his masked alter ego, but she eventually changed her views and started to aid him in secret (since her father wouldn’t have been happy if he knew). The Raven had no powers but was a talented fighter and detective. His enemies include the Lizard. Raven used a pistol, and kept a pocket knife concealed inside one of his sleeves.
