On both Earths One and Two, Greg Sanders was a renowned country singer who doubled as a gun-slinging crimefighter, the Vigilante. Each had partners named Stuff, an arch-foe named the Dummy...who looked like an actual wooden dummy, and eventually paired up with his late former sidekick's son Stuff Junior.
However, there were points of departure as well. While the golden age Vigilante had a well-chronicled history in the 1940's, his silver age counterpart did not only appearing to true public notoriety on Earth-One when teaming up with the Justice League of America to battle aliens! On Earth-Two, Vig was already a member of two teams, Law's Legionnaires and the All-Star Squadron. It was with the former team that he also battled an alien, this one sending him to another century before the white man arrived in North America, to be rescued by the Justice Society of America and their JLA allies.
Another pair of counterparts, two weapon-wielding warriors each with brief costumed careers, were the Swashbuckler and the Sword. The alter ego of Swashbuckler was Michael Carter, while Sword's was Chic Carter. Michael was the nephew of Earth-One's Vigilante, while any family relationship between Earth-Two's Vigilante and Chic is unknown. Not much was known of Michael's private life except that he resided in Houston as its sole costumed crusader, and aided Batman on one occasion in apprehending the Riddler. Chic may have run across a caped crusader of his own in the form of Superman, as like that hero's secret identity of Clark Kent, Chic also worked at the Daily Star as a police reporter for the newspaper. As the Sword, Chic only had a handful of adventurers, although in his civilian identity he was heavily involved in crime fighting cases as was another Daily Planet reporter in Jimmy Olsen. The Swashbuckler, if he reappeared in his full faced mask, has had no further tales recorded.
Otherwise... true mirror images of one another through and through... a pity they never met to exchange campfire yarns and bellow out tunes as the "Prairie Troubadours".
