Ibis the Invincible. In 12th Dynasty Egypt, four thousand years ago, Prince Amentep is imprisoned by his rival, the evil magician the Black Pharaoh. Amentep, or "Ibis" as he is known, is not as powerful a magician as the Black Pharaoh is. But while Ibis is imprisoned a relative gives him the "Ibistick," a magic wand with which the user can control or create any object. Ibis uses this Ibistick to escape from jail and then kill the Black Pharaoh. Unfortunately Ibis' beloved fiance, Princess Taia of Thebes, was wounded during the final fight. She is put under a spell so that she will not die but will sleep for 40 centuries. Ibis, to be with her, puts himself in a trance as well. He awakens in 1940, covered in mummy clothes and residing in an American museum. He goes to Europe, awakens Princess Taia, and then goes on to fight crime and evil. Ibis is a magician, but most of his powers come from the Ibistick, which can initial do almost anything but later becomes powerless against black magic.

Invisible Avenger. Ronald Byrd, blessings be upon him, gives us this:

Next, it's back to the present (I guess) for Buzz Allen, the Invisible Avenger.  Buzz is a young ham radio operator whose father, like many another golden age father, is slain by racketeers.  Later, when installing a "super-electron tube" in his radio to boost its power, Buzz accidentally turns his radio invisible.  Rather than market this oddity, he converts it to an invisibility-inducing belt (which would have been even more marketable), and he and a friend, Will Lawrence, set out to do the righting-wrongs thing, starting with the racketeers.  It's known that in #3 they discover the hidden city of Atlantis (boy, THAT was a quick jump in threat-level, huh?) somewhere in the vicinity of Alaska and prevent its leader Phatso (yeah, HE's got a future in politics) from taking over America.
