Information About

Black Condor




Black Condor is the name of two DC Comics superheroes who have both been members of the Freedom Fighters .


BLACK CONDOR I

A Golden Age mystery man who possessed the power of flight, Black Condor was a member of the Freedom Fighters , a group that operated from World War II on. Richard Grey, Jr. (alias Tom Wright) was the first Black Condor. Originally, he was described as having "learned" how to fly from actual condors; later, his power was Retconned as being caused by exposure to a radioactive meteor.


BLACK CONDOR II

A mysterious Telekinetic who pretty much kept to himself, Black Condor was adamant when he first appeared that he was not a super-hero. However, time was to prove differently, and he fought the good fight alongside others, notably Primal Force , and alone. Eventually, he went to Opal City , where he felt very much at home. This Black Condor was Ryan Kendall. In 2005, this character was killed by a powerful beam (apparently fired by Sinestro , he said "let's see if the old man is as soft as the bird" indicating he was responsible) in an attack by the Secret Society Of Supervillains in '' Infinite Crisis '' #1 after his team was sent to investigate a sighting of the Secret Society.

There was a short lived series of the same name about this character.
