The first Scarlet Sentinel was his grandfather%2C Benjamin%2C who discovered the magic ring and lantern in a cave during his Army training in the early 1950s. Unfortunately%2C Ben Moreau%27s career as the Scarlet Sentinel was cut short by the Eisenhower administration%27s anti-vigilante policies before it could really get going%2C and after only a few adventures%2C he%2C like most of the era%27s mystery men%2C retired.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe second Scarlet Sentinel was Ben%27s son Paul%2C who tried out the ring during the resurgence of superhero activity in the early 1970s. In his third outing%2C he was nearly killed by one of his father%27s enemies%2C the psychotic killer Gallowglass. With thoughts of his young family and his prospects for the future in mind%2C he gave up heroing.%0D%0A%0D%0APaul%27s son Len was left to discover his family%27s ill-starred but heroic heritage as a teenager in the late 1980s%3A he found the lantern and ring in a box in his grandfather%27s garage and%2C upon asking%2C was told the whole story. With his grandfather%27s blessing%2C Len took the lantern and ring back home with him and started operating as the family%27s third Scarlet Sentinel.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe third Scarlet Sentinel%27s career proved much longer and more successful than either of his predecessors%27. By his mid-twenties%2C he was a well-established and well-respected super-hero. Younger and more approachable than most of the other heroes of his generation%2C he became friendly with several of the younger hero groups that popped up in the mid-to-late 1990s%2C and eventually ended up taking on a partner - the teenage archer known as %5Bi%5DArrowette%5B%2Fi%5D%2C who changed her name to %5Bi%5DArsenal%5B%2Fi%5D shortly after she and the Scarlet Sentinel made their partnership official.%0D%0A%0D%0AAbout a year after they teamed up%2C the Scarlet Sentinel and Arsenal were caught in a massive temporal displacement during the %22Neo Hour%22 incident and found themselves flung into the twenty-fifth century. Undaunted%2C they settled in New Avalon and continue to battle crime and injustice today.%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Bb%5DPowers %26 Weapons%5B%2Fb%5D%0D%0AThe Scarlet Sentinel%27s powers all stem from his magic ring%2C which generates a form of psychokinetic energy. Using this energy%2C the Sentinel can fly%2C project a force-field to protect himself and others from harm%2C fire powerful bolts of destructive energy%2C manipulate objects telekinetically%2C protect himself and others from the pressures of the deep or the vacuum of space%2C and create interstellar jumpgates through hyperspace.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe Scarlet Sentinel%27s power ring is ineffective against objects made of glass. It must be periodically recharged by touching it against a larger gem which is disguised as the glass globe in a Handlan %26 Buck railway lantern. The duration a charge lasts is determined by the intensity of use. An average charge will last about a week.%0D%0A%0D%0AWhen charging his ring%2C the Scarlet Sentinel recites the following oath%3A%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Bi%5DI challenge all things dark and fell%2C%0D%0AI%27m Evil%27s bane and Crime%27s death-knell.%0D%0AI fight for Truth and Right as well%3B%0D%0AI am the Scarlet Sentinel%21%5B%2Fi%5D%0D%0A%0D%0AMoreau keeps reasonably fit and has had some training in hand-to-hand combat%2C mostly from Arsenal. He is an experienced and clever fighter%2C and can look after himself without his ring better than many opponents expect.%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Bsmall%5D%5Bi%5DThe Scarlet Sentinel created by Benjamin D.
