Captain Freedom

Don Wright was a publisher of the Daily Bulletin, a newspaper based in Central City (aka Manhattan). Tired of watching crooked politicians getting away with murder, he put on a star-spangled costume to help the downtrodden and oppressed. When World War II broke out, he naturally focused on fighting "Jap-a-nazi" saboteurs, aided by the Young Defenders, four meddling kids 'plucky youngsters' who delivered broadsheets for the Bulletin.

In Speed Comics #23, Captain Freedom teamed up with Shock Gibson, Black Cat, War Nurse and Ted Parrish to repel a Japanese attempt to invade Los Angeles. He also teamed up with Black Cat and Shock Gibson on several other occasions.

Powers and Abilities
Captain Freedom originally displayed super-strength and limited flight, but those powers vanished shortly after his original appearance and he remained non-powered for the remainder of his appearances.
