The Black Condor

Wow, where to start. First some basic facts about The Black Condor:

First Appearance: Crack Comics #1, May, 1940

Alter Ego: Richard Grey Jr.

Marital Status: Single (SWOON)

It all starts with infant Richard’s archaeologist parents being killed my mongol warriors, in Mongolia no less! Then “unusually intelligent condors” took the infant baby *cough* under their wing *cough*. And by some mutant miracle the little boy learned he could fly just like his condor mommy and daddy! Oh and he has mind-over-matter mental powers. And a wicked ray-gun that shoots a black beam of variable intensity.

This guy is a doozy.

Did I mention this guy moves back to the states and takes over the life of a murdered Senator that looks like him?

It must be warm wherever Mister The Black Condor lives because that costume doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
