Clip Foster is a heavyweight boxer who is shrunk to fly size by his father, an inventor and scientist. Before the process is reversed, gangsters enter the lab and kill Clip s father. They also knock over acid, which burns and disfigures Clip s face. He swears revenge and designs a costume for himself that includes working wings. Fly-Man has the strength of a full-grown boxer but is only the size of a fly; his costume allows him to fly, and he carries a rope weapon that works as a slingshot, garrote, and rappel.

The Fourth Musketeer is just that: a French musketeer who rose from the dead because of the German occupation of France: "I cannot rest! Liberty, fraternity are almost dead in the world...I have a duty to perform!" The Musketeer decides that the "hope of the world lies in America" and travels to DC on a white horse to fight with some bank robbers and some pro-Nazi appeasers. Apart from his cross-oceanic travel, he demonstrates no ghostly powers, but he is a good fighter and swordsman. Created at the same time as the 'Blue Blade', another Musketeer type character, could they be one and the same?

Paul Patton is a staff photographer for the Daily Globe who has a knack for messing up shots of crime as they happen. So he makes a costume with goofy ears, and crude insignia, (*there's a remote controlled camera under the insignia... the "eyes" are actually the camera lens and flashbulb). He decides to fight crime, so he can be on the scene when crime is committed and get better shots that way. He is assisted by his girlfriend, reporter Ruth Ransom. The Fox is an Olympic level athlete, but has no superpowers. *Camera info' comes via 'Copper's' site forum at http://p216.ezboard.com/fprpublicationsfrm28
