History[]
Background Information[]
Bi-Plane was once an engineer and while it is unknown why he became a supervillain, he used his knowledge on mechanics to create the first version of his trademark ultra light flying wings.
Over the years Bi-Plane continually upgraded his uranium powered wings in order to carry out aerial crimes such as hijacking a Postal Service cargo plane, robbing a hot air balloon regatta, and attacking Air Force Two.
Bi-Plane would regularly clash with other costumed heroes frequently, with the confrontation usually ending with Bi-Plane getting seriously injured or incarcerated and the more he aged, the more he spent time as an inmate rather than villain. In prison, Bi-Plane would be told by a doctor that due to decades of exposure to uranium from his powered jet, Bi-Plane was dying of cancer.
Death[]
Bi-Plane's corpse in space.
With the news of his death, Bi-Plane escaped from his federal penitentiary in Colorado and donned his flying wings to shower the city of Denver with radiation as an act of spite. Unfortunately for him, The Immortal would intervene in his plans and while Bi-Plane was explaining his final plan to him, the Immortal would physically throw Bi-Plane into outer space, saving the city and permanently killing off Bi-Plane.
Bi-Plane's corpse would later be seen floating through space as Invincible has his second confrontation with Allen the Alien.
