DEFENDERS OF THE LAND · CHARACTER PROFILE

Fist-O-Mite

A flying boxing glove. A sharp tongue. A mind of his own.

Meet one of the characters in Jay Jones’s superhero adventures with pictures. The stories take place in Cleveland in 1987.

Meet Fist-O-Mite

Dr. Daniel Orkleson wanted a strong helper who would follow orders. He got Fist-O-Mite instead: a living boxing glove with a mind of his own.

Fist can float and fly with no hand inside his cuff. He can throw a punch—and talk back. First, he needs to escape the lab where he came to life.

Fist likes to make jokes, but he cares about his friends. When something looks wrong, he is ready to stand up and help.
