The Spear’s loyal allies are his agile assistant “Sonia”, who is capable of dispensing impressive karate kicks when in combat; a twelve-year-old sidekick known as “Lemmy” who uses a catapult as his primary weapon; and a uniformed Police Officer called “Captain Victor”.[12]
His enemies are characters such as “The Cat”, a burglar who climbs walls of tall buildings; “Dr. Devil”, an evil genius whose electronic wizardry directs international experimental rockets off course;[5] Rabon Zollo; Themermolls; and Countess Scarlett.[13]
