Pendragon

Pendragon
Pendragon is the name of a hero taken on by several people over the years, a legacy that passes down through time through the magical sword Excalibur. When Pendragon is no longer able to protect Britain the sword leaves them and returns to the Rock of Ages and awaits the next worthy hero to pull it from the stone, thus taking the mantle of Pendragon.

Cecil Selari
Notable throughout the Golden Age as being the symbol of hope throughout the second world war, Cecil discovered Excalibur when his car was thrown from the road during an air raid. After being chosen he took on the persona of Pendragon along with the help of his mystical ally Merlin who acted as an advisor and trainer throughout his early years.

Sources say that he was paramount in taking down the Axis powers and constantly came up against his arch nemesis, The Crimson Sickle, a Russian villain who despised Pendragon with a passion. Their final conflict resulted in Crimson Sickle being flung into the time stream and Cecil being impaled by the villain's Sickle, taking away the use of his legs.

In the Silver Generation, after coming to terms with his new set of circumstances and seeing the world change around him he founded the Pendragon Academy where he could help to train new teenage superheroes who had just discovered their powers, including his successor Michael Baxter.

Powers and Abilities
His powers derive from the sword Excalibur, resulting in him becoming the pinnacle of human athleticism and being able to wield the sword with ease. Pendragon has been seen to use the sword to cut bullets out of the air and slice through almost any material though this latter effect will depend on the wielder's emotional state.

Michael's connection with the sword has resulted in more powers such as the ability to fly and to be able to travel through dimensions.
