Black Archer

Real Name: Clem Macy

Identity/Class: Unknown

Occupation: Television reporter

Affiliations: Chango, Katt

Enemies: Remover

Known Relatives: None.

Aliases: None.

Base of Operations: U.K.

First Appearance: Tiger and Hurricane (1967); Eagle Picture Library (reprints)

Powers/Abilities: As well as being able to instantly transform into the Black Archer, bow and all, the Archer had an aero cycle which could become invisible. His aim with the bow was inhuman, and he had a variety of arrows, including one which would trail a line behind it to entangle his target. He also had a dirk which would release flame with a thought from its owner. In dire emergencies he could also summon the Black Hand of Fate (what this could do however is unknown to me).

History: Clem Macy, clumsy but lucky TV reporter, was secretly the hero the Black Archer, "a dynamic figure of justice". Simply by concentrating he could transform into his heroic identity.

Comments: The Archer had two reluctant assistants, Chango and Katt. Both were by nature crooks, but worked for the Archer, possibly out of fear.

Among the bizarre foes the Archer faced was the Remover.
