I'm a bit more conflicted. Nodell created one of the iconic notions in comics, and what did his character do with a ring which conveyed will-power into reality?
He flew after bad guys' cars.
Yes, much more was done later, and it couldn't have been done without him. He was absolutely a part of the Golden Age crowd. But all I can think of is a failure of imagination.

But the ring! And the glowing!
