Bulletman & Bulletgirl

Here's my Mighty Protectors write-up of the Golden Age Bulletman and his sidekick, Bulletgirl, golden age superheroes created by Bill Parker and John Smalle . Bulletman made his first appearance in Nickel Comics #1, first published by Fawcett Publications, Inc. in May, 1940.

Jim Barr was from a family of cops but he was physically unable to pass the test to become a patrolman. So instead of joining the police force as a policeman he joined as a forensic scientist. Although he was never taken seriously by the cops he worked with, he managed to come up with a special serum that he hoped would rid the human body of all toxins. Deciding that he could only test his serum on himself, less someone else be harmed by his formula, he injected the serum into his body. He soon found that the germ-destroying serum transformed his body into a hard-muscled, steel-strong super human. 

His serum granted him super strength, super intelligence, and heightened senses. Using his newfound super-intelligence he then invented a helmet that let him fly as fast as a rocket by defying gravity. Creating a costume he now called himself Bulletman and began a secret life of fighting crime.

The daughter of police sergeant Kent was often curious about Jim's work and one day she discovered his secret. She wanted in on the action so Jim created another Gravity Regulator Helmet just for her and she became his sidekick.
