Attempting to rectify his meager physique which genetics bestowed on him and be the officer his father dreamt him of one day becoming, Jim Barr discovered a chemical formula that grew both his physical and mental stature! Deciding to keep this a secret, wearing oversized lab coats, he displayed his new found abilities along with the discovery of an anti-gravity projectile cap to become Bulletman! Bulletman also had an occasional sidekick in Bulletboy, a local youth who was his biggest fan. And then, of course, there was Bulletdog.
On the parallel world of Earth-Four, the aspiring musicians Rick Strong and Cindy Carson turned reluctant superheroes adopted the alter egos of Helio and Mentalia. While Helio had the power of flight, Mentalia possesses the power of levitation through telekinesis, both derived from devices bequeathed to them by a scientist they were associated with during the start of their costumed careers. Along with their bandmate Crunch “Brute” Wilson, whose power gloves gave him superhuman strength, the trio named themselves the Sentinels of Justice, working alongside Sarge Steel during the late 1960s.
Jim and Susan awoke from their Suspendium sleep along with the Marvel Family in the 1970's. Resuming their career briefly, they eventually reverted to the restful slumber of civilian life and marital bliss, not to be seen again after one final outing with Captain and Mary Marvel in the late 70's.
As for Rick and Cindy, they apparently retired following the defeat of their arch-enemy Mind-Bender. Perhaps the trio become successful in their musical endeavors.
