So stay tuned In 1939 an unstoppable power will plunge the world into darkness Unless the crime-fighting icons known as the Shadow the Green Hornet and Cato can stop it When an invention capable of harnessing elemental forces Falls into the hands of the maniacal Shuang Khan the shadow races against time to prevent the utter destruction of all America's vital industries and financial institutions To that end he enlists the Green Hornet a crusader masquerading as a crime lord to infiltrate Shuang's organization of saboteurs Will the masked heroes prevent Khan's deadly plot to shatter a nation? Find out in the shadow Green Hornet Dark Knights Franklin Delano Roosevelt Brings together Britt Reid and Lamont Cranston to battle a devastating new threat to America and the world It's hinted at several times that President Roosevelt knows each character's alter ego But doesn't come out and say it President Roosevelt also mentions how the eyes of the Green Hornet look familiar to another masked crusader He met a long time ago Which is a direct reference to the Green Hornet's great uncle the lone ranger in This mini-series the shadow Green Hornet and Cato must team up to fight against Adolf Hitler who is being controlled by a she-walking Khan who set himself up as the Japanese ambassador to the United States Written by Michael Uzlan in 2014 with art by Keith Burns and cover art by legendary artist Alex Ross Here we see the early days of the shadow as his life before he became Lamont Cranston We see him as Colonel Kent Ollard of the United States armed forces We never see his true face as it's always covered even back then by a red scarf It's said that mustard gas had eaten away at many soldiers flesh and thus hinted that he shared the same fate It's during this time we see him visiting President Woodrow Wilson However, he seems to have trouble getting into the White House by the two guards at the gate who say that President Wilson Hasn't seen anyone in quite some time It's then revealed that his wife Edith Wilson has actually been running the nation as president in secret Due to her husband's deteriorating health due to a stroke several months before It's here that we find out where the shadows legendary quote of what evil lurks in the heart of men Comes from as Edith says to him Woodrow always chose to see the good in people How can the utter evil you describe lurk in the heart of a man and how do we stop it? It's this situation that leads Colonel Kent Ollard to the Orient in order to learn to harness his mind To master the power of the garrison There are many special cameo appearances such as detective comics number 27 with the first appearance of Batman Who was created because of the shadow?
