Red Bee (character)
Red Bee is the name of two superheroes appearing in American comic books.
The first Red Bee debuted in Hit Comics #1, published in July 1940 by Quality Comics. The character was obtained by DC Comics in 1956 and has since fallen into public domain.
The second, written as the grandniece or granddaughter of the original, first appeared in Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters #5.
The Red Bee's secret identity is Rick Raleigh, assistant district attorney in Superior City, Oregon. As Red Bee, he utilizes trained bees and a "stinger gun". His favorite bee is named Michael and lives inside his belt buckle for use in special circumstances. He has a series of adventures which lasts until issue #24 (Oct 1942).
According to Jess Nevins' Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes, "he fights enemies like the evil spiritualist Dr. Marah, the Swordsmen (who use electrified swords), and Yellow Peril hatchet men".
Red Bee proved to be unpopular and was largely forgotten before reappearing in DC Comics' All-Star Squadron. This series reveals that Red Bee had been killed by Baron Blitzkrieg in battle. The Freedom Fighters was formed out of the Squadron, with Red Bee being made an honorary member.
"The New Golden Age" storyline retroactively reveals that Red Bee had a sidekick named Ladybug. Ladybug was kidnapped by Childminder before being rescued by Stargirl and Hourman and transported to the present day.
Rick's grandniece Jenna becomes the second Red Bee, using a mechanized battle suit and two robotic bees that can fire electricity. She assists the group in fighting S.H.A.D.E., an evil governmental organization. She soon learns that the leader of the Freedom Fighters, Uncle Sam, has assisted with the development of her technology. She decides to stay and fight with the group.
