Kingston “King” Cole Jr. was a young detective who operated in Big City, USA. His father, Kingston Cole, was a renowned detective who founded the Cole Detective Agency. Even when he was young, King knew that he was smarter than other kids. He graduated early from Langdon Prep School and an unnamed State College, where he was an accomplished athlete, captain of the wrestling team, and excelled in cross-country, gymnastics, aquatic sports, and self-defense. When an unnamed U.S. government agency ordered Kingston Cole on a secret mission, he turned over the Cole Detective Agency to his son until he returned. The members of Cole Detective Agency had doubts, but King Cole Jr won them over quickly. It wasn’t long before they worked as well-oiled machine, bringing criminals down in with deduction, research, subterfuge and occasionally brute force. Their most persistent enemy was the notorious Spade Gang. No matter how many times they stopped them, some gang member got away and rebuilt it from scratch. They were assisted by Dick Cole on at least one occasion. King was assisted by three Cole Detective Agency employees: Antony L “Whip” Steele, former police commissioner and Cole’s second-in-command; Iris Morland, the beauty and brains of the group, with extensive expertise in fingerprints and other forensic techniques, but, his being the 40s, she was often the one handling the clerical duties; and Ursus Graham, a former circus strongman and the group’s muscle who at first had little regard for King, seeing him as a weakling, but eventually came around. When Kingston Cole returned from his mission, he allowed his son to remain head of Cole Detective Agency. He was still more than happy to offer advice and other assistance if necessary. King Cole Jr’s biggest asset was his brilliant mind and eye for detail. His only weakness was his poor eyesight. The fact that he had to wear glasses to see clearly proved to be a liability time and time again, but he was usually able to persevere in spite of it.
