| J. Edgar Hoover certainly had a publicity campaign going in the late 40s. Comics, especially the Parents-Magazine-style "upstanding" ones, are full of stories presenting Hoover as a superhero. And don't forget Sir Lancelot's calypso song from around this same time lionizing "he-man G-Man Hoover."
