Muscle Man

Enhanced with a mob boss’s serum, Muscle Man is turned into “a man of steel and iron”. His gang conducts a train robbery, with Muscles using a giant rock to block the tracks. Aboard the Century Limited, Keith Spencer transforms into Captain Flash and stops it from running into the back of the blocked train. Chasing the fleeing gang, Captain Flash is knocked out by Muscles. Determined to lure him out, Captain Flash openly challenges Muscle to a fight – the winner taking one million dollars. Flash survives Muscles’ blows and takes him in the third round. Muscle Man is super-strong and possesses a degree of invulnerability, although Captain Flash is still able to knock him out.
