'''''The Cavalier''''' is a {{Superhero}} from UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks, created by Sam Cooper and published by Nedor in ''Thrilling Comics'' #53-54 and ''The Fighting Yank'' #25.
Rance Raleigh owns a curio shop, in which hangs a portrait of his ancestor the Duke de Chantrey. Said portrait is enchanted, and frowns whenever danger is nearby. Whenever Raleigh notices his ancestor's scowl, he dresses like a classical swashbuckler and brings justice to the unjust with the help of his assistant Rocky.
The Cavalier has appeared in ''ComicBook/TomStrong''. This page is for his Golden Age appearances. Despite the name and similar appearance, this character has no relation to the ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' villain of the same name.

!!This comic contains examples of:
* BloodKnight: Rocky absolutely adores adventure and combat, which makes him very helpful muscle for the Cavalier.

* DominoMask: Rance wears one as part of his Cavalier getup.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: Rocky likes to make mental notes of attractive women who enter the shop.
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:At first it seems like Carla Stone, from ''The Fighting Yank'' #25, is an innocent woman being harassed by goons, but it turns out she's an art thief.]]
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:The fat man from ''The Fighting Yank'' #25 seems like a thug pursuing an innocent woman, but he's a private detective and she's an art thief. Rocky even makes note of how suspicious he was compared to the real baddies.]]
* HoneyTrap: In ''The Fighting Yank'' #25 Rance asks Carla on a lunch date to see if he can gather information on why the fat man is pursuing her for the map. [[spoiler:She doesn't spill the beans, but he does notice her hiding a note under a bowl of sugar which blows the case wide open.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: The baddies of ''Thrilling Comics'' #54 kill a reporter who's about to reveal that they're Nazi agents. Unfortunately for them, they do the murder right in front of the Cavalier's shop.
* ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: [[spoiler:In ''Thrilling Comics'' #53 Felice Long makes it look like a strong man killed Waldo Key by fashioning a dagger into an arrow.]]
* MacGuffin: The conflict of ''The Fighting Yank'' #25 centers around an old map that turns out to have hidden in it [[spoiler:the location for some stolen art]].
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: The villains of ''Thrilling Comics'' #54 eliminate a snooping reporter in a way that resembles a car accident. However, he manages to tell Rance it wasn't an accident before expiring.
* MoleInCharge: [[spoiler:Purvis, the BigBad of ''Thrilling Comics'' #54, is a munitions plant owner who has been sabotaging his own product.]]
* PortentOfDoom: Rance knows danger is afoot when a portrait of his ancestor scowls.
* ProtagonistTitle
* RoyalRapier: As part of his suave swashbuckler schtick, the Cavalier wilds a rapier.
* StarterVillain: [[spoiler:Felice Long]], who murdered her father figure to cover up forgery and is arrested by issue's end.
* {{Swashbuckler}}: Rance dresses in this style for his costume.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: The baddies of ''Thrilling Comics'' #54 elect to beat the Cavalier to death because a gunshot would attract attention. Naturally, Rocky interrupts and our heroes make short work of the goons.
