Simon Templar, a freelance adventurer, started out robbing from robbers, and later turned to just involving himself in things that he thought might be fun, dangerous, and perhaps even do some good. He came to be called The Saint because of a small stick figure with a halo over his head, he would leave after having struck. He later gave up his thieving ways and just started looking for adventure.

In the 1940's there was a hero named Daredevil. Was he the coolest? Nope, but I dig his aesthetic. This is my spin on this public domain character.

Torchy's first appearance was as a comic strip in the Fort Hamilton Base newspaper in 1944. Torchy Todd, was the blonde bombshell that all the men loved. She began her long and colorful life mainly as a morale booster for the US Army. She is one of the most risqué comic characters of The Golden Age! Torchy's depiction changed from story to story. Sometimes she was naive and didn't realize the effect she had on men. Other times she understood that effect, but couldn't quite get her head around the reason why she had it. Yet in other stories, Torchy deliberately used her assets to her own advantage.

Captain Tootsie was a superhero created to advertise a product. He would always need to consume a Tootsie Roll for a sudden boost of energy in whatever task he needed to perform. He had a sidekick, a boy named Rollo, and two other young cohorts named Fatso and Fisty. The three, along with the Captain himself, made up the Secret Legion.

PEP Comics No.2 The Shield, Sergeant Boyle, The Comet, Fu Chang, Press Guardian

Believing that the world needed a defender, Thor, son of Odin and supreme ruler of Valhalla, bestowed upon the human Grant Farrel his own powers, which Grant used to become a crime fighter. When he transformed into Thor, Farrel could fly, throw lightning bolts, and generate storms. He wielded Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, which could be thrown hard enough to smash through multiple tanks but, like a boomerang, would return to his hand.

PEP Comics No. 32 Speed 'Em For Freedom!

You shot yourself face by mistake.

Zero the Ghost Detective would exterminate evil ghosts by any means necessary. He would also help the ghosts of the innocent to bring their killers to justice. These ghosts were drawn to him, and he was drawn to them. He had no magical abilities but, he did possess an extensive knowledge of occult lore and was the master of many magical artifacts (such as his "Ring of the Moon") and, if that failed, he could fall back on conventional detective work. He was also fairly good at improvising on the spot.
