Superheroes heard under the covers

I was scanning through Netflix tonight and noticed all the superhero movies and shows. How does

anybody keep them straight? I know I lost track of Agents of Shield a couple of years ago when they interjected a theater movie into the plot that i missed, so the story passed me by.
Tonight, though I started thinking about who the superheroes were in my childhood and I came up with a few. Mind you most of these were listened to on a radio under the covers with the volume turned down so parents wouldn't suspect. When some of them showed up on television later they looked nothing like what I had imagined. Here is a selection.
I seldom missed this first one on the radio. I was a little older when we got a television and had lost interest somewhat. The information snippets are from Internet Movie Database except as noted.
Sgt. Preston of the  Yukon.
Canadian Mountie Sgt. Preston patrols the wilds of the Yukon with his horse Rex and his faithful dog Yukon King, battling the elements and criminals.

The Lone Ranger
This was always my favorite of the cowboy shows. Does anybody recognize this music?

The adventures of the masked hero and his Native American partner Tonto. You always wanted to yell when Tonto went into town. Don't go. He always go beaten up when he went to town.

The show originated from Detroit WXZY in 1936 and was picked up for network broadcast by Mutual in 1938; NBC Blue Network (later ABC) picked up the show in 1939. "The Green Hornet" left radio as an actively-produced series in 1952, though reruns of several shows were known to have aired as late as 1954.

Johnny Dollar

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar was a radio drama about a "fabulous" freelance

insurance investigator "with the action-packed expense account." The show aired on CBS Radio from January 14, 1949 to September 30, 1962. There were 811 episodes in the 12-year run, and more than 720 still exist today. – Old Radio World

Gene Autry
Gene Autry was my favorite of the more realistic cowboys (At least until he put out the original "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.") "Hard-riding, sweet-singing, cowboy picture star Gene Autry" was heard each Sunday evening on radios across America via CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. Gene's Melody Ranch radio show aired for an unprecedented 16 years (between 1940 and 1956), featuring songs, comedy and action filled drama. Throughout the run, the show's sponsor was cool, refreshing Doublemint Gum.









Sky King

Sky King was an American radio and television series. Its lead character was Arizona rancher and

aircraft pilot Schuyler "Sky" King. ... Two twin-engine Cessna airplanes were used by King during the course of the TV series. The first was a Cessna T-50 and in later episodes a Cessna 310B was used till the series' end. The radio show began in 1946 and was based on a story by Roy ... played the part of Sky, including Earl Nightingale and John Reed King.

There were several more cowboy shows including Roy Rogers, Gunsmoke and best of all those Bobby Benson and the B Bar B Riders which took place in the the Big Bend country of Texas.
Bobby Benson and the B-Bar-B Riders is an old-time radio juvenile Western adventure program in the United States, one of the first juvenile radio programs.^[1] It was broadcast on CBS October 17, 1932 - December 11, 1936, and on Mutual June 21, 1949 - June 17, 1955. From Wikkipedia.












There were others including some that are still around today, Superman and Batman among them. But I didn't  listen to them much.

What list of radio mystery shows would be even near complete without THE SHADOW. The Shadow is the name of a collection of serialized dramas, originally in 1930s pulp novels, and then in a wide variety of Shadow media.^[2] One of the most famous adventure heroes of 20th century North America, the Shadow has been featured on the radio, in a long-running pulp magazine series, in American comic books, comic strips, television, serials, video games, and at least five feature films. The radio drama included episodes voiced by Orson Welles.

The introduction might have been the most famous intro ever on radio.  Here is it. Still causes shivers. I believe the speaker is Orson Welles.
