Disclose Notes: The Quality Companion categorically states that The Sword was created by Henkel.

Henkel himself said, in Alter Ego #48, that super-heroes didn't interest him. He was more into adventure stories, like those in the movies. He liked realism. Perhaps this was why Carter appeared in costume as The Sword for only a very short time.
