Origin[]
Wealthy scientist and American patriot, Bill Powers first fought the Nazis as a spy and then put on a patriotic costume and battled them as the Eagle. He was assisted by his sidekick, Daredevil Boy.
The Eagle battled many foes, including the likes of the Beast, the Gimp and the Scarecrow. The Eagle was willing to kill his enemies if need be.
Powers and Abilities[]
None.
- Though both the Eagle and Buddy were known to come crashing in through and jumping out of windows always landing safely... Neither were ever shown flying (contrary to what many other sites state). In fact, they once fell from a cliff and had to climb back up and more than once jumped from a plane with parachutes.
- For some adventures, however, he did have an "anti-gravity solution" which he soaked his cape in.
