Created by Matt Parmenter
Bullet Boy
Alter Ego: Gardner F. Green
Occupation: Adventurer
Known Relatives: Frank & Pauline Green, parents deceased, Legal
guardian Dr. Samuel Solomon
Group Affiliation: The Knights of Freedom
Base of Operations: The Freedom Tower, Washington, DC
Background/History:
The Greens were American scientists who had studied with the German Dr. Samuel
Solomon. As the Nazis took power, they went overseas to help their friend
escape. Unfortunately, they were discovered and only Dr. Solomon and their son,
Gardner, survived. The Doctor felt responsible for their deaths and raised
Gardner in their honor. He was working on a prototype flight suit, but they
simply could not make it work at full size. Gardner volunteered to help test the
suit and Dr. Solomon reluctantly agreed. It seemed to work for no one other than
Gardner. They tried short and slight of build men and even jockeys, but no one
else could use it. The Thunder Family were hired by Nazi sympathizers to kidnap
Dr. Solomon and Gardner put on the suit to help stop them. Between Gardner’s
skill and Dr. Solomon’s genius, the Thunder Family was beaten. The press ran
with the story of the mysterious ‘bullet boy’ who flew out of the clouds and
the name stuck. He and Dr. Solomon joined the Knights of Freedom and fought evil
through the 40’s. He retired as Bullet Boy when he outgrew the suit.
Personality/Motivations:
Gardner is bright and energetic, an all American boy. He uses his suit to avenge
the deaths of his parents and to make them and Dr. Solomon proud.
