Even though he was one of the few comics characters from the 1940s that got their own official club, Zarro the Great from the titular Great Comics had a lifespan of only three issues in its title. Also known as The Great Zarro, he got started like a lot of superheroes as a circus performer originally billed as Eagle-Man. Zarro was granted the power of flight from a fortune teller with mystic herbs, and now uses his singular supernatural ability to snuff out enemy agents from to sabotaging a dam. Along with his obligatory homeless young sidekick Rags, Zarro kept his old circus attire when saving lives. Aside from his athletic physique, Zarro's power of flight apparently includes soaring at speeds faster than a plane as he can catch air pirates, although his "greatness" doesn't prevent him from getting hit over the head with a blackjack. His last adventure apparently has a time skip as it cuts to sometime later after WWII has begun with Rags going through a serious growth spurt from the previous issue. Zarro pledges to have his special comic book Victory Club at the services of the American military while he ditches his supe-suit for an officer's uniform as he doesn't utilize his powers at all and instead uses a plane to pluck Nazis out of the sky. Zarro is like a Bizarro-Captain America as he was someone with an actual superpower who later stopped using it after joining the army.
