Description

(A) Al Bryant & Various

In 1919, identical twin brothers Michael and Lance Gallant were born in New York City; both possessed T-shaped birthmarks on their left wrists. The boys were very close growing up. During the Second World War, Michael enlisted in the Air Force as a pilot. Unfortunately, Michael died when his hanger exploded and his brother, Lance, who saw the tragedy, grabbed Michael from the flames, only to have him die in his arms. Lance wanted vengeance! The Fates of Greek mythology witnessed Michael's death and decided to turn Lance into their champion. Soon after, Lance is visited by Michael's ghost, who told his brother they were still linked and if he touched his birthmark, the brothers would merge and gain superpowers-including superhuman strength, endurance, flight, invulnerability, and invisibility. So, Lance decides to call himself Captain Triumph and become a crime-fighter! Collects Crack Comics #39-50 (Autumn 1945-September 1947).
