Funky Flashman is a fictional character, an entrepreneur in the DC Universe. Created by Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in the pages of "Mister Miracle" during the early 1970s.

Fictional character biography

Nothing is known about Funky's past except that he and his sidekick Houseroy were business associates of a Colonel Mockingbird. After Mockingbird's death, Funky and Houseroy lived on monthly allowances (most likely their inheritance from Mockingbird) that were automatically doled out. Noticing that the monthly allowances were getting smaller, Funky decided that he needed a new source of income.

Funky Flashman was briefly Mister Miracle's manager. The idea for his creation started back in 1972. Funky is a flamboyant, fast-talking con man who later creates a second Secret Society of Super Villains.

In Funky's original appearance, he is convinced by Lois Lane to switch from superhero merchandise to supervillain. This angers the villains who have not been cut in on the profit from their likeness.

Funky is later featured in many issues of Mister Miracle's own series. Tying into events in Justice League International, Funky forces Mister Miracle, AKA Scott Free, into an interstellar promotional campaign for the cleaning product "Miracle Mister". This tour ends up involving Manga Khan and the forces of Apokolips, both dangerous threats. The robotic double Mister Miracle is forced to leave behind, so as to go on Funky's trip, is destroyed, leading many to believe Scott Free himself had died.

He appears for two pages in Swamp Thing #76, "L'adoration De La terre" (Sept 1988). Also part of "Spontaneous Generation" Bound Compilation #8 Pages 134 & 135.

He 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 procurer for a White Martian named A'monn A'mokk.

He briefly appears in 2007's Doctor 13 limited series 'Architecture & Morality'. He is seen operating 'Flashman Pre-Owned Auto', selling various superhero themed vehicles. His stock includes a version of the Batmobile from "Batman Begins".
