List of Big Bang Comics characters

From Hey Kids Comics

This is a list of major characters appearing in the Big Bang Comics metaverse, which encompasses most fictional characters created for the shared Big Bang universe and those characters owned by Big Bang Comics.

Big Bang heroes[edit | edit source]

  • Blackjack and his Flying Aces (based on Blackhawk)
  • The Blitz (based on The Flash)
    • The Blitz (Earth A): Jimmy Travis
    • The Blitz (Earth B): Mack Snelling
  • Cyclone (based on Kid Flash, the Blitz's sidekick from Earth A)
    • Marty Eastman was addicted to the Rocket Pills that gave him his power. Later becomes the cybernetic Overdrive after being damaged in the explosion that killed the Blitz.[1]
  • Dimensioneer (teleportion via dimension control)
  • Jeena (pronounced Gina) the Jungle Girl
    • Mentioned by Venus in Caliber #1, but has yet to make an appearance.
  • Mike Merlin/Ms. Merlin (Resembles Mark Merlin/Prince Ra-Man; some similarity to Snapper Carr.)
    • Mascot to the Roundtable of America.
  • Mister U.S. (Based on Joe Simon and Jack Kirby's creation Captain America and on DC Comics Commander Steel)
    • Mister US was a generic hero shown in issue #8 in six different incarnations from six different decades. The purpose was to poke fun at all the clichés in comics during each major era: the "Glittering Golden Age", the "Silly Side of the Silver Age", the "Pseudo-Intellectual Pseventies", the "'Oity-Toity Eighties", and the "Nigh-Incomprehensible Nineties."
  • Robo-Hood first appeared in Big Bang #21. Little is known about Robo-Hood, but he seems to tackle street-level crime like muggers and pickpockets. He is a combination of Robotman and Green Arrow, but his actual name seems to derive from the legend of Robin Hood, the English freedom fighter (or outlaw) well known for his clashes with Sheriff of Nottingham.
  • Shadowhawk (Silver Age)
    • A parody of the 1960-era Batman Comics Complete with the Shadowcar, Lady ShadowHawkette, Shadowdog and kid sidekick, Squirrel aka Hawk Shadow. Working with Knight Watchman


  • Speed Queen (member of the RTA)
  • The Sphinx (a hero from an Egypt-dominated alternate Earth, similar to Hawkman created by Gardner Fox and Dennis Neville)
    • Sphinx I : Peter Chefren/Chefren Ra
    • Sphinx II : Allison Kane
  • Teen Rex (based on Kamandi created by Jack Kirby for DC Comics with a hint of Kirby's Devil Dinosaur for Marvel Comics.)
    • Billed as the "Last of the Dino Men".
  • US Angel (Golden Age winged hero)
  • Vita-Man (based on Hourman created by Ken Fitch and Bernard Bailey for DC Comics)
  • Zhantika Princess of the Jungle (most likely based on Sheena,but may just be a generic jungle girl)
