One of the cornerstones of Fox Feature Syndicate’s Golden Age superhero line, The Flame finally reached his potential in The Flame #4 in 1941

Like other Fox Feature Syndicate Superheroes such as Blue Beetle and Green Mask, the Flame powered up considerably over time.  In the character’s debut in 1939’s Wonderworld Comics #3, he was only able to materialize himself within fire in his initial appearances, as a means of teleportation, and used a flame gun that he invented.  Eventually, without further explanation in Wonderworld #22 and The Flame #4, he is shown being able to spontaneously burst into flame himself, which allows him to fly.  From there, he gradually begins to spontaneously exhibit more powerful flame-based abilities similar to the Human Torch.  A sometimes overlooked moment in the history of the character, there’s a The Flame #4 (Fox, 1941) CGC FN- 5.5 Off-white pages up for auction in the 2023 September 28 The Fox Comics Showcase Auction #40239 at Heritage Auctions.
