Origin

 Beetle Nightmares
Beetle Nightmares

As leader of the Madmen Farley has gone up against many heroes but he has always been a long term rival to the Ted Kord Blue Beetle. Farley Fleeter leads the group of the Madmen for a while until he decided it was too costly to run around in such outlandish costumes. He did not change his ways he just stopped dressing in the costumes.

He would change his mind shortly after when Dr. Alchemy paid him to attack K.O.R.D. industries Head Quarters in Chicago. Alchemy wanted them to be a distraction while he stole promethium that was being kept at the company. Farley agreed to the terms and was subsequently arrested for his troubles. Years after Fleeter went to jail his gang also caused trouble for Nightwing.

Farley Fleeter's Costume is a "camouflage like" uniform with bright colors taken from all the members of his gangs colors. from all his gang members uniforms. He is also depicted with yellow hair and red face, gloves, boots and briefs. Most of the time he is the only one with any facial hair. He wears a long bushy foo-man-choo that he also colors yellow.

There are six other members of Fleeter's gang they are paired in three groups of two. This is seen in their costumes. The gangster in the yellow camouflage costume will have yellow boots, hair, gloves and briefs but his face will be purple. While the purple gangster will be just the opposite with a yellow face. It is the same for the blue and orange gangsters and, the green and red gangsters.
