Notably, after [[World War Two]], the radio producer discovered that it still had distribution rights to a radio program of "The Avenger", and created an [[In Name Only]] remake. In this program, the Avenger was biochemist and police scientist Jim Brandon, who'd invented a [[Psychic Powers|Telepathic Indicator]] that allowed him to pick up strong thoughts from a great distance, and the "Diffusion Capsule" which reacted with a serum [[Professor Guinea Pig|to which he'd acclimated himself]] and "cloaked him in the black light of [[Invisibility]]". Along with his "lovely assistant" [[The Watson|Fern Collier]] and a frequently-baffled police inspector, Brandon investigated crimes in a blatant [[Follow the Leader]] of ''[[The Shadow]]'' radio show.
Also, the main character should never ever be confused with this other [[Name's the Same|Richard]] ([[I Have Many Names|Philip Henry]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140808004310/http://www.richardmilitia.altervista.org/biog.htm John]) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fDazaNNG3w&feature=related Benson].

* [[Being Watched]]: Benson pointed to the importance a lesson taught to him by "a so-called Arizona badman" : "When you go to a place where you have the least suspicion of being watched, son, don't come out the same hole you went in."
* [[Blasting It Out of Their Hands]]: Subverted. The Avenger avoids killing opponents but doesn't aim for their limbs either. He attempts to "knock out people by creasing their skulls". Which would indicate he aims for their heads and estimates the wounds to be superficial.
