Thanks to Stuart McPherson for informing me of the existence of this character. Stuart mentions that "He only appeared in a Commando-stye (in size and shape) comic book, his own title (a reprint of his Italian one apparently). It had some colour in it which was unusual for a British comic then...must have been the 60s but late. What was odd was that he seemed to be pretty secretive and not known to the world but whenever he got a call for help it was "only RADAR can save me" Costume don't remember too well but a red top I think with yellow triangle on chest."
Thanks to Andrea Cantucci for providing additional background details on this character.
