A cab driver named Matty Martin (or, depending on the story, Michael Shayne) became the costumed crime fighter Reckoner after changing into his top hat, cloak, and sometimes a black mask. None of the stories ever explained what prompted him to do this in the first place.

Chipper was an orphaned boy he met during his first (published) adventure.

Reckoner had no powers, but was a good detective skilled with his fists.
