The irony is that through some Penny Dredfuls Springheeled Jack became something of a superhero abet fictional and these types of stories (along with the Scarlet Pimpernel and Zorro) ended up influencing Batman rather than creating villains for him to fight.

Here in the Czech Republic we had our own version. His name was Spring man (Pérák) and he fought against the Nazis during WW2 in our capital city od Prague. He was stealing their weapons and giving them to the Resistance. But he was mostly scaring the Nazis. He wore a gas mask and no weapons. Even if he is just a legend, he is pretty cool. He also had his iconic spring shoes.

Ok, let me tell you a story "Once upon a time there was a man called Jack. He had a pumpkin head and a talking lantern. The lantern was dying, but she didn't want to abandon her dear lifetime friend Jack. But she couldn't help it. Her last word with Jack was: "Jaaaack..." Jack cried: "OOOOO LANTERN". The lantern faded away." And that is the story of _Jack O'Lantern_ .
