Man o' Metal

Golden Age Origin
Foundry worker Pat Dempsey has an unfortunate accident when a vat of white hot metal spills on him. Rather than being killed, however, he experiences an unexplainable chemical reaction of the skin texture. Now, his skin becomes like metal and he bursts into blue flames whenever he is exposed to heat or electricity. He quits the foundry and goes to work as a private investigator, and begins solving crimes for pay and fighting evil for free. In his normal, human body, he is as vulnerable as any other person, but while on fire he can melt bullets and grenades.
