I've had an idea for this character that I wanted to do that had a real old school feel to it, and I wanted a Golden Age type of name for the character too. So here is, The Crimson Crusader! or CC for short.

CC came around from a day I spent on wikipedia looking at references to old Golden Age superheroes. I wanted to come up with something like that too.

The Crimson Crusader has superhuman strength and can resist extreme temperatures. He can run faster, and jump higher than Olympic athletes, and has heightened senses due to the Recharge Pills he takes.

Here's the fun part:
Danny Thompson, The Crimson Crusader, was never very athletic, or extremely talented at anything, just a plain ordinary young man. He answered an advertisement for a lab technician job through the paper, and started to work for a quirky old man named Dr. Henry who claimed to be a genius. Danny didn't think much of the old man's ranting and muttering and kept the laboratory pretty clean five days a week. One day when Danny showed up for work the old man was delirious with excitement! He was dancing around the laboratory and showed Danny a tiny red pill. The old man said that he had invented the perfect metabolism/energy pill that would make him rich beyond his dreams. Before Danny could say anything the old man stuffed the little red pill into Danny's mouth and clasped his hands over Danny's mouth to ensure it was swallowed! Danny didn't realize he had swallowed the pill and started to feel a weird energy course through his body. He looked down and his muscles started to ache and tremble. The next second Danny's entire body was energized and he felt incredibly different. Danny closed his eyes as he winced from the pain of his aching body and the muscle spasms. When he opened his eyes he was looking down at the old man, who was looking at Danny in disbelief. Danny had grown an extra foot to an even 6'5'' and was in someone else's body. This new body was strong and coursing with speed, he fely like he could jump over the Empire State Building!

Dr. Henry made Danny sit down and started to run tests on Danny immediately. Over the next ten hours Danny started to revert back to his old body and felt weaker every hour after. Dr. Henry deduced that the red pill, which he dubbed Recharge Pills, were responsible for Danny's superhuman transformation, and that the results would last for a maximum of ten hours. Danny, with a smile on his face, asked "Do you have more of this stuff?"

After that Danny became the superhero known as The Crimson Crusader. He works out of Dr. Henry's laboratory and keeps a handful of the Recharge pills with him at all times. Once the ten hours are up CC becomes Danny, and back to his normal uneventful self.
