HISTORY 

August, 1941. 

Kip Adams was a biochemist who developed a serum that increased his physical abilities beyond human limits. The United States was living in turbulent times and Kip decided to use his increased abilities for the common good, so he designed a uniform and some gadgets and embarked on adventure as the masked The Flame. 

The Flame collaborated with Susan Page, an intrepid journalist, forming a curious (yet typical in the world of capes) love triangle with her own secret identity as the third vertex. Kip served as a member of the second team of Liberty Guards (integrated into the Battle Squadron) during World War II. Unfortunately, The Flame was killed during a skirmish. 

Susan Page then received a letter from Kip Adams where he confessed his double identity and instructed her to replicate the serum that gave him powers as a parting gift. 

Susan accepted that legacy and became the second The Flame. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Using his knowledge of biochemistry, Kip developed a serum that gave him superhuman strength, stamina, and reflexes. The Flame carried a small, pistol-sized flamethrower.
