The Fly (Jason Troy) was a person who took on the mantle of the Fly in the DC Comics’ Impact Comics Universe.
Origin[]
Jason Troy was given a magic pendant by his teacher, who then mysteriously disappeared. Jason then discovered that he is a superhero named The Fly.
Biography[]
Much of Jason Troy's home life is left unknown. He is first seen as a 12 year old boy who, when being punished for playing video games in class, is tasked by his mythology teacher, Mr. Abin, to create his own hero based on a fly. Jason succeeds and Mr. Abin rewards his with a pendant of amber with a fly trapped in it.
Later, Jason was surprised when the ring turns him into the Fly in real life, with all the powers and abilities he imagined for him such as flight, super strength, wall crawling and sonic blasts. Jason used his powers to defeat a villain named Burnout and reverted to his original body shortly after his victory. The Fly went on to fight other villains, including a criminal genius named Arachnus and his henchman Chromium. As the Fly investigated Arachnus' web of crime, he met the hero Black Hood as well as meeting another hero, Blackjack, in the gambling town of Los Arenas.
He eventually joined the superhero team known as the Crusaders, along with heroes the Jaguar, the Web and the Shield.
