A true mystery man, the Green Turtle aided the Chinese in guerrilla warfare against Japanese invaders during World War II. He wore a green cloak with an enormous turtle-shell design and was assisted by Wun-Too, an elderly servant who monitored radio broadcasts and passed along vital information from Chinese resistance fighters. He also had a sidekick, Burma Boy, a young beggar he'd rescued from execution by the Japanese army.

The Green Turtle had no powers but, was a skilled fighter and flew the the Turtle Plane. He always carried a jade dagger, though he was never seen wielding it in battle, the dagger appears symbolically on the splash page of his first appearance, where he cuts a tentacle of the octopus representing the Japanese empire on a map. Additionally, he has a rope tied to his waist, which he uses to jump onto enemies.

*Chu Hing [https://pappysgoldenage.blogspot.ca/2009/10/number-612-turtle-power-in-order-to.html intended the character to be Chinese] however, the publishers felt differently so, rather than presenting him as Caucasian, Chu always hid the character's face, either behind his mask or by him standing in shadows.
*The Green Turtle was published only until March 1945, and as a result, was never shown fighting enemies outside of World War II.
*He is called '''Ching Quai''' (青龜) by the Chinese people, which literally means “green turtle,” with ching (青) meaning “green” or, depending on context, “blue”. Some sources have mistakenly interpreted '''Ching Quai''' as the hero’s personal identity rather than simply the Chinese rendering of his heroic name. This is Chu F. Hing’s own romanization. In [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wade%E2%80%93Giles Wade-Giles], which was commonly used before the adoption of modern pinyin in the late 1950s, the name would be rendered as '''Ch’ing Kuei''', in pinyin, it is written as '''Qing Gui'''. However, in more recent publications, particularly the 2018 Chinese edition of Gene Luen Yang’s miniseries published by Hunan Fine Arts Publishing House, the character was referred to as Qing Gui Xia (青龜俠), with the xia suffix indicating that the character is a hero. This addition mirrors a naming convention previously used for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Hornet The Green Hornet], rendered in Chinese as '''Qing Feng Xia''' (青蜂俠), and draws on the long-established yóuxiá (游俠) and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wuxia wǔxiá] (武俠) traditions that predate the modern superhero genre.
* Chu F. Hing was also responsible for the artwork of the first story of the Filipino Kid in Yellowjacket Comics #1 (September 1944), a character who also fought against the Japanese during World War II. Hing, however, did not continue working on the series.
