The Shadow was a fictional character created by American magazine publishers Street & Smith and writer Walter B. Gibson. He was an invincible crime fighter who possessed many gifts which enabled him to overcome any enemy. In addition to his great strength, he defied gravity, spoke any language, unraveled any codes and most notably, he became invisible with his ability to "cloud men's minds." The Shadow was originally created to be a mysterious radio show narrator but developed into a distinct literary character. The Shadow has been adapted in many forms of media, such as American comic books, comic strips, serials, video games, and at least five feature films.
