HISTORY 

Rip Regan gained superhuman powers by wearing the power jacket created by his friend Dr. Austin. Austin's inspiration for creating the power jacket was Atoma's combat suit, Austin's associate at Atoma Solutions, Barbara 'Bobbi' Powell. Without a secret identity to protect her, enemies often sought to steal the source of Atoma's powers and that's where Regan came in as Atoma's bodyguard. But Rip not only protected the interests of Atoma Solutions, he also used the powers of the jacket to fight evil and uphold justice. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Although Rip does not have superpowers, he wears the Impervium/cosmium alloy power jacket that allows him to fly, protects him from damage and increases his physical strength. 

A pair of special goggles enhance his vision and provides infrared, ultraviolet, and X-ray vision.

HISTORY

January, 1940. 

Professor Claude Stevens, a renowned ornithologist and engineer, was senselessly murdered. His son Drake was outraged and received no justice from the police. So Drake put together a costume consisting of a pair of Gravitex wings and some gadgets and went hunting for criminals. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Cosmium is a rare extra-terrestial gravity-repelling metal which is reduced to a substance called Gravitex. Gravitex made Drake's wings lighter than air. He also used a gun in several adventures.
