Some more info released by 555 Wagon Squadron Personnel Department. (Sourced from the internet, apparently)


CAPTAIN X
Real Name: Richard Dare
Class: Human hero
Occupation: Newspaper reporter
Group Affiliation: The Group
Known Relatives: Edward Raymond (son), Ronald Raymond (grandson)
Aliases: Aviator
Base of Operations: Kent, England
First Appearance: Star-Spangled Comics #1 (October, 1941)
Powers: Captain X was an expert hand-to-hand combatant, and a skilled athlete. His primary weapon was "Jenny," a plastic plane powered by uranium-235, so clear and slim it is virtually invisible at a distance. If he wished Jenny to be clearly visible, he could flood tiny slits in the plane with colored fluid. A secret ray could keep Jenny stationary in the air, and Captain X could remote control it through a radio-transmitter.
History: (Star-Spangled Comics #1)-Richard "Buck" Dare was a reporter for the Tribute, an American newspaper published in England during WWII. Although America was not yet involved in the war, Dare wanted to aid the Allies. A secret organization known as The Group gave him the identity of Captain X and an experimental plane named Jenny. Captain X was given a secret hangar near the Great Chatham Naval base, from which he could aid the RAF or operate on solo missions.
After many successful missions Captain X was transferred to operating behind enemy lines. He was first given a shore-leave in Atlantic City, where he met a young woman named Patricia. They had an affair, and he returned to Europe, unaware that she was pregnant. Captain X served until 1945, after which he searched for Patricia, but found she was happily married, with a two-year old son he didn't know was his.
(Firestorm #69-72)-The Group contacted Captain X to serve behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. Now known as Aviator, he continued to go on missions and formed a group called the "X" Protocol to aid him. In the early 1970s' age caused Richard dare to retire and disband the "X" Protocol. He learned that Patricia died when her son vanished, and he decided to investigate. He found Ed Raymond, and Ed's son Ronald (Firestorm), learning the truth that Ed was his son. A plan by The Group to assassinate Dare was foiled by Firestorm, but the vengeful Russian Stalnoivolk would later succeed.



Obviously some of this is rubbish, because Captain X turned up the other day at Base Alpha!!!! It's not like Personnel to get their facts wrong!

Some of the Guys in the mess reckon Captain X might be Ronald !!
