The Origin of Redman!!



Each month D.F.G. Online will feature the history of one of it's main characters. This month relive the history of one of D.F.G.'s greatest heroes: Redman.
Redman was created by Dan Graves in 1982. His first appearance was in Spy Vol 1, #2.
Joe Schmultz, an astronomer, was simply out driving his car when a meteor crashed nearby, giving him superpowers. Initially thinking he could get rich robbing banks with his new powers, Joe thought the better of it and became the crime fighter Redman. Joe kept fragments of the meteor which have protected him against serious injury. The master armchair villian, The Blue Menace, has the distinction of being Redman's first nemesis.
