Biography[]

Philippe Delambre

Philippe as a young boy.

Philippe Delambre was a French-Canadian scientist who grew up in Montreal, Québec in the early 1950s. He was the son of scientist André Delambre and his wife Hélène. He had an uncle named François. When Philippe was a child, he lost his father to a scientific accident in a laboratory that merged his biology with that of a housefly. Despite this, young Philippe expressed a desire to become just like his father.

This attitude never wavered even into adulthood. Philippe wanted to duplicate his father's experiments with teleportation despite the protestations of his uncle, François. An industrial spy named Ronald Holmes, seeking to acquire the Delambre technology, attacked Philippe and deliberately placed him inside the teleporter with a fly. When the machine was activated, Philippe's human body developed an over-sized insectoid head, while his human head was transposed onto the body of the fly. As the Fly, Philippe succeeded in killing Holmes, and was eventually restored to normal.
