He used his sub to combat lawlessness at sea and fight against the Nazis and Japanese forces during WWII. Eventually, he became known as the '''Red Torpedo''' himself. ===World War II=== Red Torpedo joined [[Uncle Sam (New Earth)|Uncle Sam]] as one of the first members of the [[Freedom Fighters (New Earth)|Freedom Fighters]]. Their mission was to stop the Japanese en route to [[Pearl Harbor]]. They nearly succeeded, but a surprise attack left Jim dead in the water, or so it seemed <ref>{{c|Secret Origins Vol 2 #26}}</ref> Somehow, Jim survived and later in the war was known to aid other heroes such as the [[Justice Society of America]]. ===Post World War II=== After [[World War II]], Jim retired the name Red Torpedo. He started a company, Lockhart Navionics, that designed seafaring craft. Lockhart Navionics made Lockhart billions of dollars, through military contracts. He was involved in creating a new [[Starman]] in 1951. When [[Theodore Knight (New Earth)|Ted Knight]] was unable to continue his mission in [[Opal City]], Lockhart helped [[Charles McNider (New Earth)|Dr. Mid-Nite (Charles McNider)]] to build the Star Flyer. Lockhart designed a star-shaped aircraft that McNider used to combat crime. The Star Flyer later passed hands to a time-travelling [[David Knight (New Earth)|David Knight]], who took over as Starman. <ref>{{c|Starman Vol 2 77}}</ref> ===Windward Home=== Jim and his company later created Windward Home, a mobile seafaring city that he ran with [[Elsa Magnusson (New Earth)|Elsa Magnusson]]. The home was created as a mobile think tank, which brought together scientists and scholars from across the globe into an environment free from life's daily trials. Since Windward Home operates in international waters, the inhabitants are subject to no one nation's laws. The scientists come from the various hidden races of Earth, including at least one inhabitant of [[Feithera]]. Their research covers all topics, from technology to magic. The [[Sea Devils]] joined Jim and his think tank to help in their research. When the [[James Corrigan (New Earth)|Spectre]] destroyed [[Atlantis]], the [[Atlanteans]] came to the home for refuge including the ghost of Atlantis' greatest scientist, Dr. [[Nuidis Vulko (New Earth)|Vulko]]. [[A.J. (New Earth)|A.J. Curry]] and [[Nanaue (New Earth)|King Shark]] joined as well to help search for [[Orin (New Earth)|Aquaman]], and his protection of the scattered Atlantean people. During this time, Jim and his team became the first surface dwellers to visit the underwater nation of [[Naos]]. <ref>{{c|Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis Vol 1 42 }}</ref> | Powers = | Abilities = * {{Swimming}} * {{Military Protocol}} * {{Firearms}} <ref>{{c|Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis Vol 1 52}}</ref> | Strength = | Weaknesses = | Equipment = | Transportation = * '''[[Red Torpedo (Submarine)]]''': His one-man sub, boasts many impressive features: it is concussion proof, it can snare things with its spear-tip, release a cloud of ink into the water, and also grind through thick masses of polar ice. | Weapons = | Notes = {{Multicont Earth-Two}} * In the pre-Crisis timeline, Red Torpedo died helping [[Uncle Sam (New Earth)|Uncle Sam]] fight the Japanese on [[Earth-X]] (as shown in {{C| All-Star Squadron Vol 1 32}}). In the post-Crisis reality, that battle did not happen. It was replaced by the pre-Pearl Harbor battle shown in {{c|Secret Origins Vol 2 #26}}, which he did survive (barely). | Trivia = | Recommended = * ''[[Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis]]'' | Links = }} {{Aquaman}} {{Freedom Fighters Member}} Templates used on the current version of this page: All-Star Squadron Vol 1 31 (view source) DC Database:Character Template (view source) (protected)DC Database:Header (view source) Template:!
