Step off, Avengers. This guy was for real. In the 1970s, Marvel Comics published 19 issues of The Human Fly, a series about a real-life stuntman who donned a crazy outfit and fought crime in between riding on the top of jet planes at 280 miles an hour. Or… was he? This incredible behind-the-scenes movie brings in a pair of Canadian meat magnates, the real stuntman behind the mask and more. We don’t know much about the upcoming feature film, but this is a hell of a story.
