HISTORY 

Charles "Chip" Foster was the heavyweight champion contender in 1940. Bill Banks, a gangster, offered him $2,000 in exchange for being knocked out in the title fight, but Chip, ignoring the offer, beat his opponent and was crowned world heavyweight champion. 

His father, Dr. Maximilian Foster was a scientist working on an invention that would help win the coming war: a device capable of shrinking people to the size of insects. Chip volunteered as an experimental subject to test the machine, shrinking to the size of a fly. The strain of the change left him unconscious but stable. However, just then, gangsters led by Banks burst into the lab looking for Chip. Not finding him, they killed the old man and set fire to the lab. 

The fire woke Chip, who managed to escape, albeit horribly disfigured by the flames. 

Fortunately, the young Foster, despite being the size of a fly, had maintained his original strength, so swearing to avenge his father, he took a uniform that his father had designed for him and calling himself "The Fly", he set out to hunt down Banks and his minions. Since then, Chip has dedicated his life to fighting crime in honor of his father. 

The Fly was a member of the Crime Smashers and also the Battle Squadron. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Charles Foster was a physical wonder, a true heavyweight champion. But Chip was much more than just a bunch of muscles, Chip had also inherited his father's intellect and was a brilliant scientist himself. The shrinking machine compressed most of his body mass, making him tiny, but tremendously strong and resistant. His Fly suit, designed by his father, was amazing. The fabric was flame retardant and highly resistant to damage. It included a cape that could become rigid in free fall, acting like a paraglider. But the most important thing is that Dr. Maximilian Foster had hidden the key to reverting to normal human size in Chip's uniform.
