HISTORY 

Scientist-adventurer Jack Kenson was making a sub-orbital flight in an experimental spacecraft of his invention when he was surprised by an abnormal flux of cosmic rays. Chaos broke out in the ship, but after a few minutes everything seemed to return to normal. However, Kenson discovered that his genetic structure had been altered and he began to demonstrate the uncanny ability to alter his size at will. Kenson added crime fighting to his list of occupations, calling himself the Red Comet. Later, Jack met Marian Michaels, a singer from Las Vegas, while investigating the criminal group known as the Claw. Kenson outfitted Marian with a special suit and, calling herself Black Butterfly, she became his partner in adventures (and his lover). After a while, the two got married and soon after were recruited by Jack Battle to become DANGER agents and members of the Fixers. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Kenson can increase his size at will, easily reaching the proportions of a 20-story building, gaining superhuman strength and endurance in the process. Jack can also shrink his size while maintaining his original strength. Kenson also uses high-tech equipment of his own design, such as his jetpack and his spaceship.

HISTORY 

Marian Michaels was a Las Vegas nightclub singer who discovered that a paramilitary group eager for world domination (the Claw) was financing her army with drug money. Fortunately, Marian crossed her path with the scientist-adventurer Jack Kenson (aka Red Comet), who gave her a suit that gave her special abilities, which together with Kenson's own, served to stop the Claw. Kenson and Michaels began an affair and were soon married. Shortly after they joined the United States Government initiative known as the Fixers.

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Marian is in exceptional physical condition and has a background in judo and some karate. The Black Butterfly costume allows her to fly and launch shocking blasts of light, as well as generate other types of lighting effects to blind or confuse her rivals. Kenson later added to the suit the ability to reduce the size of its wearer to the height of an insect, about six inches, while maintaining the same strength and resistance of its original size.
