Victor Smith

Victor Smith is Masked Rider 1, the very first Masked Rider in existence and is one of the main characters in Masked Rider.

Abilities
Even from the start, Victor Smith was a greatly gifted man. He not only has the skills of a pro bike racer, but is a brilliant scientist that could even turn Jack Williams into Masked Rider 3 along with being very adept at sports. His racing skills were enough to rival Toby Palmer and far surpassed Rob Stevenson. Victor is also a great teacher as he along with Richard Johnson coached Jack (something that would help Jack when he became Masked Rider 3) at bike racing. He also has great leadership skills as shown when he leads his successors in battle against the forces of evil and triumphs against them.

After becoming a Masked Rider, his already impressive skills were boosted greatly. His body surpassed most of Shocker`s minions at the time, as well as managed to fight and defeat Shocker soldiers that were designed to be more powerful than him, and often times trained if his skills weren't enough to defeat such opponents. In a later Masked Rider episode, Victor managed to fight and easily defeat not only Colonel Summers (an opponent that Victor couldn't initially defeat and won partially by luck) but multiple cyborgs that he also had trouble with, showing how much his skills and power have improved throughout the series. It is thinkable that his years of experience makes him one of the, if not the most skilled Masked Rider in the franchise.
