HERO PROFILE #18: The Human Fly
Operated out of: Montreal
Active: Mid- late 1970s
Activities: Costumed, charitable stuntman
Status: Unknown
Author's notes: In my book, Heroes in the Night: Inside the Real Life Superhero Movement, I have a chapter titled "Early Prototypes." One of the real life precursors to the RLSH movement that I briefly talk about is the story of a mysterious stuntman known as the Human Fly. After a little digging, I found more on the story thanks to a filmmaker who has been exploring the Fly's story for quite sometime.
I was able to funnel this info into a more in-depth look at the story in an article recently posted at Pop Mythology, which you can read here:
