Rocketman III


    Brilliant inventor "Tech" Carson yearns to see man fly without wings or external devices such as airplanes. Working on miniaturized versions of jets, Tech and the beautiful Pat, his faithful lab assistant (and love interest), design a tri-jet pack capable of supersonic speeds. Realizing that air friction would be harmful at full speed, Tech designs an outfit to minimize its effects. These rubber suits work just fine in preventing burns from high-speed travel and the exhaust of the tri-jets. With flight controls mounted on the front of the harness, Tech can maneuver at high speeds.

    Tech's second passion in life is sleuthing. Being an amateur detective, Tech decides to add a mask to his uniform design and declares himself ready to fight crime. Pat wants in on the action too, and with a spare jetpack she joins Tech in his crime-fighting crusade. The two become known as Rocketman and Jet Girl (see individual entry), the Zip-Jets, supersonic enemies of evil. They set out on a series of daring adventures to rid their fair city of all crime. But the Zip-Jets only fight crime for a short while before retiring for reasons unknown.
