Paragon, or Captain Paragon, is a fictional superhero character published by AC Comics currently as a supporting character in Femforce. This character initially had his own book, then was with the Sentinels of Justice.
Charlie Starrett was a ranch hand back in the 19th century who assumed the identity of the Latigo Kid. In the early 20th century, a secret organization enhanced Starrett into Captain Paragon.[1] He helped found the Sentinels of Justice with Nightveil, Stardust, Commando D and the Scarlet Scorpion in Captain Paragon and Sentinels of Justice #1.[2] Later, the original Sentinels of Justice was disbanded by the military and was replaced with other heroes which did not sit well with the original members. With Jennifer Burke chosen to lead the New Sentinels of Justice under the name of Paragon, the original Paragon objected. This led the original Sentinels members to be named advisors to the new team.[3]
Captain Paragon is married to Femforce leader Miss Victory. He is a frequent ally of the team.
The name of his original secret identity is a tribute to cowboy star Charles Starrett who played the Durango Kid.
