Biography
Flying Guy, real name unknown lived in New York City, New York and was of Armenian descent. He had a history of mental illness, which is part of what prompted him to become a costumed super-hero. He was also inspired by local hero Dave Lizewski, aka Kick-Ass, and put together a costume and a pair of artificial wings.

Flying Guy's heroic debut also turned out to be his only activity as a hero. Standing on the roof of a tall building, he dove off of it with the intention of flying across the city skyline. However, his wing harness failed and he plummeted to his death, crashing onto the roof of a car.
