Black Condor took over Sen. Thomas Wright's identity and Wonder Woman took over Diana Prince's identity. Presumable taking over a senator's identity would be more difficult today. Big Dog! Big Dog! Bow Wow Wow!

I've always been fascinated by Black Condor's secret identity, because it seems to set up a lot of interesting story potential.

Pretty standard fare for a Golden Age character's origin, but why is he significant in the history of comics?

Nope! He was pretty much the whitest thing since Whitey came to Whitetown! Originally Posted by Myg - Andy S Well Fred Carson was the first comic book character written by Jack Kirby! Nope!
