The Crimson Rider was a masked vigilante garbed in red and rode a horse named Black Satan. Her true identity was the beautiful Mary Bennon. Mary wanted revenge for her father's murder by the villainous Payson gang so she adopted the Crimson Rider persona to seek retribution. After bringing justice to the Payson gang, Mary Bennon continued as the Crimson Rider and helped out Wilton of the West and Snorty.

She was an expert equestrian and gunfighter. She was also able to acquire incendiary ammunition that could be fired from her dual revolvers.
