Bulletman (James "Jim" Barr)

Created by Bill Parker and Jon Smalle, Bulletman first appeared in Nickel Comics #1 (May 1940). Jim Barr was the son of a police officer who was killed in the line of duty and as a result took it upon himself to fight crime. He was rejected from the police academy for physical reasons, but got a job in ballistics. Like many characters of the time, he used chemistry to develop powers for himself, in his case greater muscle mass and brain power using his "crime cure". He also invented a bullet-shaped Gravity Regulator Helmet which allowed him to fly and deflect bullets. His first case involved capturing a gangster in his hideout. He has fought the supercriminal Blackmask, the rat-man Black Rat and the devious Mara Myle.
