The Masked Marvel, whose caped costume included a green mask that literally made the Marvel look like he had a skull for a head. The fact that his name was, of course, the Masked Marvel indicates that he wasn't making any concerted effort to persuade people that he was a supernatural being of some sort and was just going for shock value.

The Honourable Peter Pilkington fought crime in wartime Great Britain in the guise of Maskman. He and his man-servant Fogg had several adventures that were a sort of a combination of Batman and Robin with Wooster and Jeeves. Maskman had no superpowers or specialized equipment, other than a good left jab and the air of "man of mystery" about himself.
