We don't talk about G-2 a lot. He's never appeared in a proper DC Comic. I don't think Mark Waid's New History mentioned him even if it were to dark places when it came to acknowledging forgotten Quality and Fawcett heroes. So who was he? Here's what Public Domain Super Heroes has to say:
Don Leash was G-2, one of America's top secret agents and a costumed one at that, he worked across the US with Army intelligence to protect America from its enemies. He had no powers, but was a skilled fighter. His enemies include the Ghost of Mata Hari, Gothro, Dr. Agony, and King Spy. He allied himself with fellow agent Jean Caroll, alias the Cantrow Poppy, and "the Chinese Joan of Arc" Lady Wang.
He starred in 20 issues of National, starting with issue #27. G-2, of course, is the WWII designation for the U.S.'s intelligence service. So now you know! And knowing is half the battle.
