Part One

Part Four

OK, let's goooo

21-Conan/Adventures Finds You: Another fairly straightforward one. This hero do not, as a general rule, set out to find adventure or right wrongs, they just go about their own business and keep stumbling over mysteries that needs solving, baddies that need defeating, and people that need to be rescued. Alternates: Spear & Fang+ (from Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, whom I'm annoyed I hadn't realized counted before @maxwell-grant pointed it out), Mystery, Inc., Indiana Jones.

22-Sheena/Justice From The Jungle: Again, straightforward. Pulp loves jungles for some reason, so here we are. Jungle Jim*, Frank Buck*, Tarzan

23-The Question/Find The Truth. Another straightforward one. One of the key tools in the standard Pulp Hero's arsenal is the art and science of investigation, the solving of mysteries, the uncovering of secrets. Today is for those who make that their primary tool. John Doe+ (from Potter's Field by Mark Waid), Sherlock Holmes, Mr. Keen

24-Shang Chi/Master of the Martial Arts: Wow, today is all about obvious ones, isn't it? The ability to kick ass, even without a weapon, is pretty standard for Pulp Heroes, but today is for those where the art of unarmed combat is the primary tool in their arsenal. Alternates: El Santo*, Remo Williams*+, Joe Palooka*+

25-Nyctalope/Better Crimefighting Through Science: Ah-ha! This one sounds straightforward, but I had something very specific in mind; many Pulp Heroes make use of scientific wizardry, but this is specifically for those who's prowess and abilities are the direct result not of good genes or mysticism or but are the direct product of science. Alternates: Atomic Robo, Tom Strong.
