- TriviaAlthough there were two characters that appeared in the comics of the day that bore the name The Masked Marvel, this character was a Republic Pictures creation.
- GoofsNear the end of the first chapter, the Masked Marvel falls off a large fuel storage tank onto a canvas-top truck parked on the ground below. The stunt is "performed" by a dummy, whose hand catches on a bracing girder along the side of the tank, ripping its entire arm out of its coat sleeve.

Featured review
great action-packed, stunt-filled serial; classic cliffhanger.
Made during the height of World War II, The Masked Marvel is 12 chapters of pure stunts and thrills. Despite the poor acting of the four leading men who are the "Marvel" suspects, the action-packed fights and rousing cliffhangers, plus the marvellous stunt work by Tom Steele and his team compensates.
The special effects by the Lydecker brothers are first-rate, as good as any major studio - if not better.
I have watched this serial a dozen times and still get excited and caught up in the adventure. If anyone wanted to begin a serial collection, this could do well as an introduction. It's Republic Pictures at the top of the studio's game.
