Blue Tracer

Blue Tracer is a golden age of comics superhero, created by Fred Guardineer and published by Quality Comics. His first appearance was in Hit Comics #1 and lasted until number #16.

Origin

William "Wild" Dunn was a British engineer who was working with the army in a secluded section of Ethiopia. While working, his team was attacked by a group of supernatural beings named the M'bujies. The M'bujies wounded Dunn and killed his teammates. Dunn was able to escape, because of the help of "Boomerang" Jones, and Australian soldier, who nursed him back to health. After Dunn regained his strength, the two men found the remains of some vehicles and morphed them together to create one vehicle which could become and tank, airplane, or submarine. The two named it the Blue Tracer. Then they used it to destroy the M'bujies and escaped the jungle. The two traveled the world and fought the Axis forces during the rest of the war, with Dunn at he head and Jones as his sidekick. The Blue Tracer has not had any recorded adventures after 1942. The character lapsed into public domain before since DC bought Quality Comics in 1980s.
