The Unknown was an American who joined the French in battle against the Nazis in World War II. He was injured in the line of duty, resulting in amnesia, forgetting his own name and country. He wandered into the battle of Dunkirk and donned a costume, aiding the Allied forces as “The Unknown”. Among his enemies were X-19, a German female spy, and a Nazi commander who gained super-strength from cocaine. He battled Hitler himself, and traveled to the concentration camp of Dachau to rescue a train of prisoners. He did not possess superpowers, but was a good fighter, airplane pilot, and military tactician. He was not opposed to killing his enemies. He also displayed horsemanship and skills with disguise. He used a variety of weapons, from handguns to machine guns. He was befriended by Victoria, the Goddess of Victory. In National Comics #34, Victoria guided the Unknown through the comic book pages they were appearing in.
