Jester (Charles "Chuck" Lane) is a fictional character, a Golden Age superhero created by Paul Gustavson and published by Quality Comics.

[5] According to Jess Nevins' Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes, "most of the Jester's enemies are ordinary humans, but there is the occasional name villain like the stoic gangster Stoneface and the femme fatale Lady Satan".

In modern times, an aged Jester is the head of a group of patriotic radicals known as The Arcadians, seeking to "cleanse" America of its "corrupt" governments.

To this end, he has his underlings (among whom is his grandson, Charles, who has taken on his costumed identity) kidnap the Vice President and his wife, with the ransom being the recovering of mystical artifacts by the Freedom Fighters.

While helping Lex Luthor procure a device capable of sending its owner to other dimensions, the Jester sacrifices himself to impede the Crime Syndicate.
