Captain Liberty

Picture of my namesake This is a picture Rich Buckler drew of my namesake, Captain Liberty, when we were both in comics fandom in the 60s.

I'm not talking about the character writeup. But why the name? I really dislike using established hero names for a product that doesn't relate to the established names. Both DC and Marvel have Nighthawk characters: one is a Western character and the other a Batman clone (strangely enough). They could have just used Knighthawk and had all the difference the situation demanded. And even had a closer link to Batman, which is what he is supposed to be, anyway.
