As a child, Harley Hudson always felt a great fascination for two things: the masked heroes and the world of insects. As he was not the last son of a powerful star nor a mutant, he dedicated himself to cultivating his physical and mental alike, who knows if with the naive hope of one day becoming one of those heroes he idolized. At the very least, exercise and study earned him a full scholarship to NYU. He graduated as an honors student in entomology and biochemistry, as well as setting college records in various athletic disciplines. He found work as an assistant in the police department's forensic laboratory. After getting into a fortuitous accident, Harley discovers that he is capable of amazing things and becomes the masked hero known as Entomo, fulfilling his childhood dream. At that time he meets Joan Burton, a reporter with whom he begins to date and who is the only one who knows his true identity. Ultimately, Joan would end up being Harley's wife.
Entomo joined other heroes (Del Van Dyne Jr., leader of the top-secret government team known as the Death Patrol... Deep Sea Dawson, internationally renowned diver and oceanographer... Steve Svenson, leader of the Sand Hogs... Alani, the sovereign and protector of the Vanishing Islands... Dr. Zoo, the master of the animal kingdom... Flip Falcon, the tetra-dimensional traveler... And of course Jon, the immortal lover from ancient Atlantis) to form a team, the Ghost Guard.
POWERS & WEAPONS
Entomo was able to duplicate the powers of any insect, the beetle's proportional strength, the flea's jumping ability, the cockroach's damage resistance, or the desert locust's flight ability, for example.
