From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Funky Flashman is a fictional character in the DC Universe.
Created by Jack Kirby in the pages of Mister Miracle during the early 1970s. Funky Flashman was briefly Mister Miracle's manager and was inspired by Kirby's former partner, Stan Lee. The idea for the creation started back in 1972, when Kirby (after already being angry at Stan Lee for claiming sole rights as creator of the Marvel Universe) took his anger out on the whole ordeal by creating Funky Flashman. He is a flamboyant, fast-talking con man who created a second Secret Society of Super Villains. He had a servant named Houseroy, whom many comic fans surmised was inspired by comic writer Roy Thomas.
He last appeared in 2005's Son of Vulcan mini-series as the proprietor of a Pawn Shop that dealt in superhero and villain artifacts and equipment, and as a criminal go-between and procuror for a White Martian named A'Monn A'Mokk.
