Completing a lofty castle made of solid rock at the peak of Mt. McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, Master Man uses the castle fortress as a watchtower to scan all the world for evil with his amazing Troublescope. In his first public case, Master Man battles an army of gangsters who have invaded the city of Ecalpon, Nevada, some 200 miles away. //Note: Although the setting indicates that Ecalpon ("no place" backwards), and therefore Master Man's mountain headquarters, are in the USA, it is possible that Ecalpon is a completely westernized city in Nepal, India, Tibet, Bhutan, or Bangladesh that is populated entirely by British and American settlers. Another more probable possibility is that Master Man's original fortress is atop the tallest mountain in the United States, which is Mt. McKinley in Alaska, also placing Ecalpon in that state. The next issue places Master Man's headquarters at least 5,000 miles from France (the distance is likely longer) and requires Master Man to cross the Atlantic Ocean to get there, indicating the mountain must be in North America rather than Eurasia or anywhere else. By the 1950s, when he's become more reclusive, Master Man has built a new mountain fortress headquarters atop Mt.
