Origin[]
Zero the Silent, the human fly, was a masked pulp mystery man. He was a disgraced Scotland Yard detective who invented a highly advanced costume intending to become a cat burglar as vengeance but changed his mind after policemen were being killed by the Rattlers, a gang from Chicago terrorizing London.
Powers and Abilities[]
The costume was skin-tight black rubber with "suction discs" on the hands and knees, allowing him to crawl along walls and ceilings. Attached to his wrist on an elastic cord was a rubber "throwing ball" with a lead core; Zero bowled googlies at his opponents, with the elastic bringing the ball back to him.
Notes[]
- His masked crimefighting outfit predated that of the Phantom and Batman.
- He had a fox terrier named Mickey who did not sit on the sidelines.
