The Green Hornet - the newspaper publisher who fights crime with his Kung Fu valet Kato (Bruce Lee). The Beetle - a name claimed by many pesky people wearing a special armored suit. The Black Widow - the Russian secret agent who shocks her adversaries. The Blue Beetle - the vitamin-popping cop with a bullet-proof suit. The Fly - an early creation by Archie Comics.
