The Comet was a hero from the planet Altrox; later we learned he was the original Earth hero the Comet; apparently he hadn't really died, and moved off planet.  He used super scientific weapons built into his uniform to fight crime.

When he first appeared in a Fly-Girl story, he wore a red and white uniform.  But suddenly, when he started appearing in "The Fly" in the pre-Mighty Crusader stories, his costume would become green and orange, and that is how it is remembered best.

But in the early 1980s, Archie Comics tried to revieve their heroes under the "Red Circle" imprint.  In these stories, the Comet was back in the red and white outfit - at least until he returned to his Golden Age uniform.
