Golden Age Origin:

Sammy was a youthful good-hearted adolescent who fought crime and had adventures wearing a suit of powered armor created by his inventor uncle.

After learning to fly using his armor, He returned to work at his job as an office boy at the police station. Sammy finds out Detective Dumbull has been fired for not catching the criminal Slippery Elmer and encourages him to go after the criminal by going to Elmer's hideout in Possum Peak. However, Sam decides that he should go with the Scoot Suit and help Dumbull. He then captures Elmer and credits Detective Dumbull so he could get his job back. That night, Sammy tells his Uncle the whole story who encourages him to keep his identity secret.

The Scoot Suit confers the powers of flight, heightened strength, and was made of an indestructible metal.
