HISTORY 

August, 1941. 

Kip Adams was a biochemist who developed a serum that increased his physical abilities beyond human limits. The United States was living in turbulent times and Kip decided to use his increased abilities for the common good, so he designed a uniform and some gadgets and embarked on adventure as the masked The Flame. 

The Flame collaborated with Susan Page, an intrepid journalist, forming a curious (yet typical in the world of capes) love triangle with her own secret identity as the third vertex. Kip served as a member of the second team of Liberty Guards (integrated into the Battle Squadron) during World War II. Unfortunately, The Flame was killed during a skirmish. 

Susan Page then received a letter from Kip Adams where he confessed his double identity and instructed her to replicate the serum that gave him powers as a parting gift. 

Susan accepted that legacy and became the second The Flame. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Using his knowledge of biochemistry, Kip developed a serum that gave him superhuman strength, stamina, and reflexes. The Flame carried a small, pistol-sized flamethrower.

HISTORY 

Susan was a fearless reporter who covered the adventures of the hero the Flame, helping him on many occasions. Susan was in love with the hero, but what she didn't know is that her good friend, the biochemist Kip Adams (secret identity of the Flame), was secretly and crazy in love with her. 

In the end, the Flame was killed during a skirmish and Susan received a letter from Kip where he confessed his dual identity and gave her instructions to replicate the serum that gave him powers as a parting gift. Susan accepted that legacy and became the second The Flame. 

She joined the Battle Squadron until the end of World War II and there she met her future husband, Sir Brian of Camelot, aka Brian Silver, aka the Silver Knight. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

The Serum created by Kip Adams had a different effect on Susan, who gained the ability to control fire and heat. In this way, she was able to raise her own body temperature without taking damage, to the point where she could burst into flames or melt bullets. She could also control and direct any flame in her presence. With time and practice, Susan was able to focus her power enough to use it for flight.
