abstract
  • Rick and Dick Walters are the twin sons of Walt Walters. Shortly after they were born, a group of Hitler supporters took their family hostage. The situation quickly spiraled out of control and thier mother was killed. The heartbroken Walt swore to raise his sons as exemplars of goodness and steadfast defenders of democratic values. When the war broke out in Europe, Rick and Dick wanted to do their part for their own country. Unfortunately, the boys were only 16, too young to officially enlist, so they put on costumes to fight enemy spies in the U.S. When their dad took up the mantle of the Black Owl from Doug Danville, they found themselves teaming up with Black Owl more often. At first, they had no idea that their father was behind the mask. They discovered each other's identities about a year later and became a full-fledged team. However, when the second Black Owl was wounded and retired, the twins continued on their own again. Their enemies included Kroff, Frankenstein, the Monocle, Funnibone, the Limping Man, Dr. Hugo, Von Goohn, and Trigger Sloan.
  • Identical twins Rick and Dick Walters, being too young to enlist in the army during World War II, were still able to fight spies and saboteurs in the United States as the costumed heroes Yank (Rick) and Doodle (Dick). The two of them were super-strong and invulnerable, as long as they were near each other; when apart, they had no superpowers. At one point during their career, they teamed up with The Green Lama, the first Black Owl, and many other heroes to fight Frankenstein's monster. Later, their father Walt became the second Black Owl, having been made the successor of the first one; for the next three years, father and sons worked together as a team, with Yank & Doodle basically being the Owl’s sidekicks. When a bullet wound convinced Walt to retire from active crimefighting, he became an adviser to the boys, who were once again fighting as a duo. Whatever became of Yank & Doodle after the 1940s is not yet known.
