Dr. Nelson Drew is a dull "bookworm professor" at Calflin University. On a palimpsest he discovers the formula for "a mystic Egyptian chemical called Lamesis which gives to a man the physical characteristics of his ideal!" He makes the formula and drinks it, and gains super-strength and super-speed. Naturally, he decides to fight crime and Nazis with it, although he is forced to maintain a cowardly front as Nelson Drew, which earns him the criticism of his student and crush Annabel. The Liberator’s enemies include X-3, "diabolical Nazi spy and man of a thousand faces" and a Nazi scientist who steals a formula to make men (including German soliders) bulletproof (he experiments by injecting Drew with it). He appears in stories with titles like "The Poison Dart Murders” and “The Actinic Weapon.”

*The Nedor comics [http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/firstperiod.html were renewed] by Popular Library, which was eventually bought out by Fawcett Books. When Fawcett went out of business, Popular Library was sold to Warner Bros. A number of different publishers, however, are currently/have been using these characters without any lawsuits from Warner Bros., so any action over them is (probably) unlikely. They are still, however, "use at your own risk" characters.
