First Appearance:  Dandy #272 (D.C.Thomson, 5th August 1944)

History: Having trained extensively to build up his physical prowess and faculties, Les Manners became the costumed crimefighter known as Mr. X.

Comments: Created by Jack Glass.

Mr. X's original adventures only lasted for 14 issues, from Dandy #272 through #286, plus a story in Dandy Annual 1962.

His costume consisted of skin-tight black trousers, white top with the red 'X' on it and a black mask.

Several original Mr. X stories were reprinted alongside new material by the University of Dundee's UniVerse imprint by license with DC Thomson late in 2012.

Mr. X was recently revived in the digital edition of the Dandy as a member of the superteam Retro Active; over the years he has apparently gained the power of flight.
