Moths

Golden Age Origin
The Chessmen aided Karno the Chessman in his schemes. In his cavernous subterranean lair they obeyed his every order, up to and including kidnapping Dr. Fung and various others to turn into chesspieces.



They wore red, bulletproof  suits with green wing-like contraptions on their backs that allowed them to fly, and wielded several weapons such as gas guns, and disintegrator ray-guns. Other than that they were ordinary humans.
