Though not as enduring as The Human Torch, Namor or Captain America, the Angel nonetheless enjoyed a run of over 100 stories. By Golden Age standards, that was a very respectable run. The character was resurrected in the Silver Age as one of the Uncanny X-Men. According to Wikipedia:
.
"A costumed detective with no superpowers, the Angel was among the few such heroes to wear no mask, and in his Golden Age appearances made no effort to conceal his identity as independently wealthy Thomas Halloway, a former surgeon. He later acquired the "mystic cape of Mercury", which allowed him to fly, but he used this ability only occasionally, as on his campaign against the foreign spy Cat's Paw. "
"The Angel was already active by the time of the first Human Torch and Sub-Mariner adventures, and active as far back as 1936. He fought alongside Namor against World War II "Nazombies", and was later ... a member of both the All-Winners Squad and the V-Battalion during the war."
