Reckoner and Chipper - Eidolon Station

A cab driver named Matty Martin (or, depending on the story, Michael Shayne) becomes the costumed crime-fighter Reckoner. He wears a top hat, cloak, and sometimes a black mask. None of the stories ever explained what prompted him to do this in the first place. Rocky, an orphaned boy he met during his first (published) adventure, becomes his sidekick Chipper. Reckoner had no powers, but was a good detective, and skilled with his fists.
