Who wants to be a superhero?

The Human Fly billed himself as a genuine superhero, secret identity and all (in fact he was stuntman Rick Rojatt) He insisted on remaining masked and was careful to maintain his “secret identity” in all his appearances, never giving a real name. He never really achieved big-time fame, but he did somehow persuade Marvel to do a comic book about him.

Trying to beat Evil's record jump Rojatt used a 1977 Harley Davidson XL-1000 Sportster built by Ky Michealson that had two 1,500-lb. thrust hydrogen peroxide rockets, which was mounted one on top of the other, directly underneath the fuel tank giving the bike a total of 6000 horsepower.

..Sadly Rojatt crashed on his jump attempt, you can read the full story via the Rocketman
