The Jester is a fictional character, a Golden Age superhero created by Paul Gustavson and published by Quality Comics. He first appeared in ''Smash Comics'' #22 (May 1941). Like most of Quality's characters, the Jester was later purchased by DC Comics and incorporated into their universe. Though little used by the company, he appeared in ''All-Star Squadron'' #31 and #60 and ''Starman'' #46. ==Fictional character biography== Rookie cop Chuck Lane learns that he is a direct descendant of a medieval court jester. Because of this, and the fact that he feels he is not doing enough good as a cop alone, he becomes a colorfully costumed adventurer known as the Jester. The Jester is a comical crime fighter who makes laughing-stocks out of the criminals he fights. He is known to be an unpredictable hero whose eerie laugh and jingling bells are an ominous sign to his enemies. His costume is worn under his police uniform. The Jester becomes a member of both the All-Star Squadron and Uncle Sam's Freedom Fighters. His last recorded mission is in 1952, and sometime after that he gives up being the Jester to become a normal cop again. In modern times, an aged Jester is the head of a group of patriotic radicals known as The Arcadians, seeking to "cleanse" America of its "corrupt" governments. To this end, he has his underlings (among whom is his grandson, Charles, who has taken on his costumed identity) kidnap the Vice President and his wife, with the ransom being the recovering of mystical artifacs by the Freedom Fighters.〔''Freedom Fighters'' (vol. 4) #1〕 When government agents track the group's communications to Lane's home, he sets off powerful explosives, killing the agents and himself along with them.〔''Freedom Fighters'' (vol. 2) #4〕 *''Freedom Fighters'' (vol. 2) #7 *''Freedom Fighters'' (vol. 2) #8 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jester (Quality Comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
