Golden Age Origin
Nathan Hale was Captain Battle's side-kick. He was found an orphan as a demon like creature called a Deaglo, Captain Battle changed him back to a human while fighting his master the Black Dragon in Asia. Upon returning to human form, Nathan couldn't recall anything about his past except his name. Captain Battle adopted him and allowed him to become his sidekick under the name Hale "Souvenir" Battle. Souvenir was a nickname that Hale earned for liking to collect souvenirs from his adventures.(Captain Battle #2) He helped Captain Battle fight foes such as Baron Doom.
Nathan Hale was good fighter. Like Captain Battle, he used a luceflyer anti-gravity jetpack and a disssolvo gun.
Notes
Captain Battle Jr. was not the name Nathan Hale used in his golden age appearances in fact Captain Battle's biological son William Battle held that title. Also during a reprinted story Nathan's first name was changed to Kane.
