In The Green Mask v1 #10 (August 1944), Johnny Green's father Walter is referred to as having been the original Green Mask but is said to be away at war. However, in this story Johnny refers to two adults as "Mom" and "Dad" but there's no indication his father (who only appears in one panel) is an ex-superhero (and it's Johnny who magically becomes the Green Mask).
