ORIGIN
STAN and DICKY CARTER’s father is a great scientist who has invented the "Power Elixir," which he gives to his two sons in a series of vaccinations. After their father’s death, Stan and Dicky swear to fight evil and to preserve freedom everywhere as the LONE WARRIOR and DICKY!

POWERS/ABILITIES
The Power Elixir gives Stan and Dicky super-strength, great resistance to physical harm, and super-fast reflexes. But a direct hit from a speeding auto can knock the brothers out cold. And the patriotic duo have a special weapon, the Super-Car Flyer, a bullet-proof flying automobile, painted red and yellow. With its retractable wings the aero-car is indeed a marvel of science.

HISTORY
Stan Carter heeds the call for the defense of his country and joins the military at Camp Trenton, while Dicky settles in at a nearby boys’ camp. Asked about the weird "W" on his chest while getting his physical, Stan explains that it is "just a vaccination mark. The Super-Car Flyer is hidden in the woods that separates Camp Trenton from Dicky's boys’ camp The LONE WARRIOR and Dicky fight the forces of evil for almost a year before disappearing from public view.
