The Shadow. He came into comics in 1930, before Superman, Batman and the Stan Lee's Marvel comics. He was a slueth, who had the inherent PSI power to become almost invisible and fool people near him for a time, so as to bring them to justice, as being criminals. Please don't confuse him with Alec Baldwins 1994 film of the same moniker. This was all done by radio, not TV.
