National Comics #29 (1943)

In the shadow of the Nazi invasion, an American civilian with amnesia joins the resistance in France, his past lost but his resolve unbroken. Wounded and stripped of memory, he takes up the mantle of "The Unknown" during the Battle of Dunkirk, fighting alongside British and French forces in a costume forged from necessity. Though offered safe passage to England, he chooses to stay, driven by a fierce promise: "I have forgotten much... but I will never forget cruelty and injustice!"

In this 1943 tale from National Comics #29, Quicksilver establishes a hidden base of operations and recruits a Chinese assistant, granting him the ability to see through solid objects using the inventor’s groundbreaking X-Ray liquid. The story unfolds as the duo prepares to face unseen threats, their partnership built on trust and the mysterious power of science.
