Firebrand
Rod Reilly, millionaire society scion, is known to the world as an idle playboy… but wherever crime breaks, wherever the law of the land or people’s rights are menaced, he appears as the dauntless enemy of the underworld… holding aloft his blazing torch of glory.
Flashback: Aquaman
The story must start with my father, a famous undersea explorer – if I spoke his name, you would recognize it. My mother died when I was a baby, and he turned to his work of solving the ocean’s secrets.
The explorer’s greatest discovery was an ancient city that he believed was the lost kingdom of Atlantis. He made his home in one of the palaces, studying its records and devices. He learned ways of teaching his son to live under the ocean…
To be continued…
The Human Bomb
Roy Lincoln was the son of a famous explosives expert and assisted him while working on the new super explosive, 27-QRX. When thugs broke into the lab to steal the capsule, Roy’s father was killed and Roy swallowed the capsule to protect it.
Ohhh… my fist did that, when I punched… I… I… must be full of explosive… a bomb! I might blast anything that I touch!
But the fibrowax that the capsule holding 27-QRX was made of… I can make a suit of that!
Well, Dad… I alone am the control of 27-QRX, and every foreign agent that I find will pay for your death… they’ll feel the power of your discovery!!
