Origin
Known only as Kismet, Man of Fate, Kismet was an Algerian Muslim who lived in the South of France until that country was overrun by the Nazis, at which point he hid out in the forest emerging from it as a resistance fighter.
An expert hand to hand combatant he otherwise had no special gadgets or powers save for “the freedom given to me by Allah and the Prophet,” making him comic’s first Muslim superhero, and the only one, as far as I know, to fight evil while wearing a fez.
