He was to answer to no one except K9 and, if necessary, the president of the United States.

Name  Seven Soldiers of Victory
A.K.A. Laws Legionnaires
Secret ID. Star Spangled Kid, Stripsey, Green Arrow, Speedy, Vigilante, Crimson Avenger and Shining Knight
Type Costumed Team
Affiliation/Team Seven Soldiers of Victory
1st Appearance Leading Comics #1
Year 1942
Publisher National Periodical Publications (DC)
Country of origin USA
The Seven Soldiers kept the same line up for their entire 14-issue run. There was also a very clear “Eighth Soldier?who functioned along side the other Seven. He was the sidekick of the Crimson Avenger and his name was Wing. The politics of the early Forties made it difficult to feature an Asian in a lead role, so the most basic reason for his exclusion from full membership appears to have been his race. One thing all of these heroes had in common was that not one of them had a super power. The only one who came close was the Shining Knight. His sword could cut through almost anything and his horse was able to fly. The team's name itself was featured on the second cover, but over the years, they were also known as “Law's Legionnaires?
