Who is Jawbreaker, the hooded hero?
The underworld wants to know! < p/> Called Jawbreaker because of his no holds barred approach to fighting crime, he thinks nothing of stealing a cop's motorcycle in his single-minded pursuit of evil doers! < p/> Not wanting to waste a moment in his battle against evildoers, Jawbreaker doesn't pause to don a costume, he merely slips on a black hood and goes into instant action in whatever he happens to be wearing. Be it a suit and tie or dungarees and a sweatshirt. < p/> Performing incredible feats of speed and strength, Jawbreaker possesses no superpowers. But like other famous, bigger-than-life champions of justice - e. g. , Zorro, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Tarzan, the Green Arrow, the Spirit, the Lone Ranger, Santo, the Phantom, etc. - he is a superhero. < p/> But now Jawbreaker is up against his greatest challenge, a fiend called the Scarlet Skull who has unleashed a reign of terror on Southern California. But what is his motive? Revenge? Profit? Power? Or is he a complete madman glorying in inflicting death and destruction on anyone and any thing? No one knows. And no one seems able to stop him. < p/> Jawbreaker alone is determined to track down the Scarlet Skull and end the supervillain's monstrous career of bloodshed and death - even if it costs the hooded hunter his life! < p/> Donald F.
