Diamond Jack (Fawcett)

**Diamond Jack** is a male comic superhero who features in Fawcett Comics.

## Biography

At some point, he encountered an aged magician who gave him a mystical diamond ring and taught him magic so that he could go out in the world to aid the worthy. (Slam-Bang Comics v1 #1)

He was at the Café Imperial when it was stormed by robbers who shot one of the staff and threatened the remaining people where they demanded to take their money. Diamond Jack effortless removed the criminals weapons and fought them in hand-to-hand combat whereupon he healed the wounded staff member. This allowed the criminals to escape with Jack in pursuit and the gangsters called upon the aid of a witch who summoned a dragon made of smoke to attack the hero. After summoning a mystical sword, he slayed the creature and used magic to take the shape of the smoke demon to enter into the lair of its master where he revealed himself to the witch. Rather than kill her, he used his magical ring to turn her spell book into a cook book thus depriving the witch the ability to use dark magic in the future. He then pursued the gang that believed he was slain and captured one where he disguised himself as the criminal. Thus, he joined the gang as they went for their next target where they were robbing a safe. It was then he revealed himself and engaged the criminals in a fist fight where he avoided a murderous gangster with a knife and knocked out all the villains. He then made a call to a rookie cop on patrol so that he could get the reward for finding the criminals and arresting them. (Slam-Bang Comics v1 #1)
