The character known as The Falcon has a long and complex history. He was originally created by Michael Arlen as a hardboiled detective in a series of popular movies. Some believe that Drexel Drake also played a role in the creation of The Falcon, portraying him as a shadowy detective named Michael Waring in 1936. The character has evolved over time, with different versions appearing in various media such as short stories, novels, films, and radio shows.

The Falcon first appeared on the radio in 1943, airing for the next ten years on various networks. Sponsored by Gem Razor blades, the radio show featured a rude and shadowy version of The Falcon, played by various actors such as Les Tremayne and Les Damon. This version of the character was weary of the police and changed careers to become an espionage agent towards the end of the show's run.
