I dedicate this post to Starla. I haven’t heard from the good lady in Montana, so I hope all is well with her and Navar. She requested this character, and I am pleased to honor her request.

Fearless Fly Bio
When danger arises, Hirem enters a nearby matchbox, and exits as Fearless Fly
Wears a red sweater and special glasses that provide millions of mega-tons of energy through the sensitive muscles in his head.”
Only weakness is losing his glasses: “Without my super high-powered glasses I’m helpless!”
His chief nemesis is the 900-year-old Dr. Goo Fee and his sidekick Gung Ho
Occasionally, Milton the Monster’s Professor Weirdo threatens, as does Ferocious Fly
I discovered these lyrics, but can’t find the tune.
Hey I’m in trouble
and I’m all by myself (so)
I’m callin’ to the fly
I need a little help (help)
Hey fearless, you know you’re really cool (cool)
You know you’re the one who makes me drool (drool)
His name is Fearless Fly
His name is Fearless Fly
His name is Fearless Fly
So fearless
(I’m fearless)
