History:
After striking it rich in the oil fields of Texas, "Tex" Thomson began traveling around the world. He often found himself solving mysteries during his travels. Eventually he and his friend Bob Daley worked in a major American city on the staff of Special Prosecutor Mahoney, helping him fight organized crime.

Thomson resigned to undertake a special war relief mission, and left for abroad on the Angelus, a mercy ship carrying supplies for the needy. He caught a saboteur working for a foreign power on board, but was unable to prevent the ship from being blown up. Thomson was believed dead.

But instead, he was found, more dead than alive, by a Portuguese fishing boat, and regained his strength in Lisbon. Thomson vowed to wage a one-man war against enemy spies, saboteurs, and fifth columnists. He returned to America in the masked identity of Mister America and captured Pratt, the leader of the saboteurs responsible for the Angelus’s destruction. Eventually Mister America resumed his Tex Thomson identity as well.

Mister America saw himself fighting for the spirit of America. He whistled "Yankee Doodle" and left behind red, white, and blue striped feathers as his trademarks. His friend Bob Daley teamed up with him as the comical costumed crimefighter Fatman. Mister America joined the wartime All-Star Squadron.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt renamed Mister America "Americommando" and had him undergo intensive training to become a special commando and secret agent behind enemy lines. The Americommando was assigned to masquerade as Nazi officers, sabotage Axis plans, and aid Axis victims. Americommando operated successfully in both Europe and the Pacific, but it is not known whether he survived the end of World War II.

Powers:
To become the Americommando, Mister America was given intensive training in many areas, including marksmanship, piloting aircraft, weightlifting, and every aspect of military operations in his time. Mister America was already a superb hand-to-hand combatant and a brilliant detective. He was also a skilled actor, enabling him to pose as Nazi officers.

Mister America used a whip as a weapon in crimefighting. For a time he had a cape that somehow could fly. To use the cape to fly, he would stand on it as if it were a flying carpet.
