Three stories β "Nevlo" (#17), "House of Death" (#15) and "Death in Slow Motion" (#18) β had been written by Ernst prior to this radical shift in character, and underwent rewrites before seeing publication. Although the original texts would place these three stories chronologically earlier than #13, the rewrites serve to fit them into the timelines as published (although some slight original traces remain under the heavy-handed later insertions).

Whereas Doc Savage was known as "The Man of Bronze", the Avenger was described as "The Man of Steel".

Following the original 24 pulp novels by Paul Ernst, and the half-dozen short stories written by Emile C. Tepperman (also under the "Kenneth
