The problem with trying to find crime fighters named Ken is that they, by their very nature, tend to be extremely protective of their true identity. However, as is the case with every great crime fighter, the super villain always unmasks them in the end. Of course, the adoring public are always quick to forget that the hero’s identity has been revealed, so here is a permanent record of crime fighters named Ken who shall remain unmasked.
- Ken Masters – Introduced to the world in 1987, Ken Masters is one half of crime fighting duo Ryu and Ken from the popular Street Fighter game series. Ken’s special moves include Hadoken, Shoryuken, Tatsumaki and Senpukyaku. The character was originally created by Capcom as Ryu’s counterpart in order to appeal to the American audience when the game was released globally.
- Kenneth Dowler – He’s not so famous among everyday citizens, but Kenneth Dowler holds a very prominent place in international crime fighting circles. Dowler is the author of a number of important publications concerned with criminal processes and justice. With over 15 publications under his belt, Kenneth has made significant contributions towards understanding the media’s impact on criminal investigation and reporting.
- Kenny McCormick – Mysterion, AKA Kenny McCormick from South Park, bears a striking resemblance to Batman, and even has the gruff voice down. The Mysterion character was first introduced to the show in the Season 13 episode “The Coon.” The crime fighter’s super power, not surprisingly, is the ability to come back to life after suffering fatal injuries, although his friends and family have no recollection of the event.
- Kenneth Aubrey – As one of the main characters in Craig Thomas’s series of spy novels, Sir Kenneth Aubrey is a top handler with MI6. Thomas is most famous for the novel titled “Firefox,” which was adapted for film in 1982 with Freddie Jones playing Aubrey’s character. Although Tom Clancy had much more success in the British spy genre, Craig Thomas is regarded by many fans as the founding father of the genre.
- Ken Follett – A crime fighter perhaps only in his own mind, Ken Follett has written more than six unique book series comprised of over 30 novels in total. Common threads found in Follett’s novels deal with crime, war and politics throughout the ages. The Welsh writer is also an avid supporter of the British Labour party, and even became involved in politics himself in the late 1970s.
- Kenneth Hutchinson – You may not recognize his name, but you will recognize his nickname – Hutch of Starsky and Hutch fame. Although the show became incredibly famous all over the world, the original series only ran for four years on ABC. The show was also famous for introducing the much loved character “Huggy Bear” to the world. Huggy was later revamped by rapper Snoop Dogg in a movie remake of the show.
- Kenneth Drury – Detective Chief Superintendent Kenneth Drury of Scotland Yard’s Flying Squad fell afoul of the law himself in a famous bribery and corruption scandal in 1977. The Flying Squad has always had close links to criminal elements as part of their mission, however, investigations were launched into the squad’s conduct due to public scrutiny of nefarious tactics and practices.
- Kenneth Toby – Kenneth Toby appeared in a number of TV and movie roles throughout his career, which included many roles as crime fighting characters. Most of the roles that Kenneth played were as military men, however, he also played sheriff in “Big Top Pee-Wee” and a Twilight episode titled “A Day in Beaumont.” Kenneth Toby died on December 22, 2002; he was 85 years of age.
- Ken Carson – Another name that you may not recognize, which is probably because he has kept it under deep cover. Ken Carson is better known as the Ken Doll – or Barbie’s other half. Of course, everyone knows that Ken can’t hold down a job for long, so it’s no surprise that he lists police officer as one of his many failed career choices.
- Ken Wallis – This thrill seeking dare-devil has the honor of having doubled for James Bond in You Only Live Twice. Wing Commander Kenneth Horatio Wallis loves all kinds of vehicles, especially when he is inventing or racing them. Wallis created what is considered by many to be the original Scaletrix race tracks and cars. Unfortunately, he did not patent his invention, and thus lost out on the fortune that similar designs later brought for Scaletrix.
