Tarantula (Jonathan "John" Law)

Mystery story writer John Law was inspired to become a mystery Man by the Crimson Avenger in the days after America entered World War II. The Tarantula possessed no super-abilities but relied on several gimmicks and his quick wits. He was trained in hand-to-hand combat, as well as some acrobatics, and had a passing interest in stage make-up and stage magic. He used suction cups attached to the soles on his boots to allow him to walk up walls and hang from ceilings. He used a "web-gun" (despite the fact tarantulas don't spin webs) which fired a string of fast-hardening nylon that was used to swing from one anchored point to another.
