Кіріспе
Flattop Jones, Sr. – Честер Гулд Дик Трейси комиксі үшін жаратқан ойдан шығарылған жаман кейіпкер. Оның лақап аты басының үстіңгі жағынан толығымен тегіс болған үлкен мөлшерінен туындаған.
Flattop Jones, Sr. is a fictional villain created by Chester Gould for the Dick Tracy comic strip. His nickname comes from his large head that is perfectly flat on the top.
Шығарма кейіпкерінің тарихы
Гулд комиксте Флэттоптың жеке өмірі туралы көп мәлімет бермеді, бірақ оның кейіпкерге берген астарындағы сілтемелер нағыз өмірдегі Ұлы Депрессия дәуіріндегі Pretty Boy Floyd гангстерімен ұқсастықтарды көрсетеді. Мысалы, Флэттоп комиксте өзін "Crookston Hills" қаласынан келген жеке кәсіпкерлердің мердігері ретінде таныстырады, бұл Флойдтың Оклахома штатындағы Куксон Хиллз туған қаласының пародиасы. Комиксте сондай-ақ Флэттоптың 1933 жылы Флойдтың қатысқан деген күдікпен қаралатын "Канзас-Сити қырғынына" қатысқандығы айтылады.
Gould revealed little about Flattop's personal life in the comic strip, but the background references that he did give the character share similarities to real life Depression era gangster Pretty Boy Floyd. For example, Flattop claims in the strip to be a freelance hitman from "Crookston Hills", a parody version of Floyd's hometown of Cookson Hills in Oklahoma. The comic strip also references Flattop's involvement in the "Kansas City Massacre," a 1933 incident in which Floyd was alleged to have been involved.
Комикстегі кейіпкерлері
Гулд кейіпкері үш адамнан тұратын топтың басшысы болып табылады және комиксте көрсетілген бір газеттің тақырыбында "ас өлтіруші" ретінде танымал (бес адам өлтірген). Flattop-тың басты зұлым кейіпкері болған сюжетте, қара базар сатушылары оны Дик Трейсиді 5000 доллар ақысына жою үшін жалдайды: оның әдеттегі бағасының бесесесі. Флаттоп Трейсиді ұстап, оны алаңсыз өлтіретін жерге апару үшін ақша үшін таласты ұйымдастырып, өз құдіретін дәлелдеді. Трейсидің бақытына орай, Флаттоп бұл әрекетті тоқтатады, өйткені ол жұмыс берушілері Трейсидің өлімі үшін осындай жоғары баға төлеуге дайын болса, онда олар одан да көп төлеуге дайын болар еді. Осылайша, Flattop жұмыс берушілеріне қосымша 50 000 доллар үшін шантаж жасауға шешім қабылдайды, әйтпесе ол Трейсиге оларды тұтқындауға қажетті ақпаратпен детективті босатуы мүмкін. Транзакция аяқталғанша жатақ бөлмеде жасырынып, Трейси төменгі қабатта анасымен бірге тұратын тұрғындардың Морзе кодын үйреніп жатқан WAC екенін біледі. Ол бөлмеде қол жетімді фортепианоны пайдаланып, оны ойнайды және жерге кодты түрде соғады, бұл оның музыкасына уақыт беріп отырғандай, төмендегі WAC, Марджи Элонг, көмекке шақыруды таниды деп үміттенеді. Элонг пен оның анасы хабарды естіп, полицияға хабар береді. Трейсидің серіктесі Пэт Паттон құтқару шарасына дайындалып жатқанда, Флаттоп шантаж келісімін аяқтағаннан кейін, Трейсиді өз қолбасшылары қоршап алған кезде атуды жоспарлайды. Флаттоп үшке санағанда Трейси өлтіруді тоқтатып, өлтірушіге қарай жүгіріп, оның қаруын алып күреседі. Күрес барысында Трейси "Машина пішіні" Эдди деген қолбасшысын Томи пішінімен өлтіріп, оны Флаттоптың қалған тобын полиция жасырынған жеріне шабуыл жасағанда да өлтіреді. Полиция Трейсиге қамқорлық жасаса, детектив оның өлі екендігі туралы жұртшылыққа хабарлауды ұсынады, өйткені Flattop жұмыс берушілері тез арада кісі өлтірушімен байланысқа түседі деп күтеді. Қара базарда сатушылар қапқа түсіп, Флаттоптың телефонына қоңырау шалып, оны тойға шақырады. Полиция тез арада келіп, олардың бәрін тұтқындайды. Алайда, Flattop қашып кетеді және оның ерекше ерекшелігімен кедергі келтіретін аңшы қашқынға айналады. Бұл ұзақ қуғын-сүргінге әкеледі, оның барысында Flattop пансионатта тұрады, ал оны жасырып жатқан бұрыс бала Бад Дженкинс оны қорғайды. Бала шантаж ақшасына сатып алған қымбат жаңа конькимен сырғанаған кезде көлге батып қалады. Бұл Трейсиді пансионатқа апарып, Флаттопты қашуға мәжбүр етеді. Комедиялық эпизодта Флаттоп өзінің 50 000 долларын өзі құрғатып алған ескі отбасылық альбомға жасыруға шешім қабылдайды, өйткені ол осы ақшамен шығып кетсе, оны тонауы мүмкін деп қорқады; Трейси пансионатқа барып, өлген баланың анасынан ұлының қалада 50 доллар ақшасын көрсетуі туралы сұрағанда, қайтыс болған адамның жақсы суретін қажет ететін репортер ақшаны альбомнан табады. Сұраққа тартылғанда, ана ақшаның тек бөлмеде тұрған адамнан ғана келетінін түсінеді, Трейси бөлмеге шабуыл жасағанда Флаттопты оқиға орныннан қашуға мәжбүр етеді. Бұл 1943 жылдың соңында басталған алты ай бойы жалғасатын қуғын-сүргін кезеңі басталады. Біріншіден, Flattop түтіндікке жасырынып, онда бұзған аралар уылдырығын тістейді. Содан кейін, балға толы, балға толы, Flattop оны тазалау үшін жалған тазалау сұйықтығы ретінде бензин сататын көше саудагерін мәжбүрлейді, содан кейін ол саудагерді өлтіріп, өз өлімін жасақтау және құрбанның соғыс облигацияларын ұрлау үшін өлтіреді. Ақырында, Flattop қонақ үйде жасырынады, бірақ соғыс облигациялары терезеден жарылып, оның орналасқан жерін көрсетеді. Полиция қызметкері бұл туралы штабқа хабарлаған кезде, ол қартайған шұңқыр актері Витамин Флинтхарттың бөлмесінде жасырынады. Өзінің заңсыз кіруін түсіндіруге тырысқаннан кейін, Flattop Flintheart-қа шабуыл жасайды және маскалау үшін макияж заттарын қолданады. Трейси, Паттон және Флинтхарт Флаттопты іздеуді және онымен күресуді жалғастырады. Флаттоп ауыр жарақат алады, бірақ қамауда емделеді. Флаттопты ұмытуға жол бермеу үшін Гулд әңгімені жалғастырудың жолын тапты. Комиксте Флаттоптың қашып кетуі, Флинтхартты тұтқынға алуы және оның порт аймағында жасырынуы туралы мәлімет бар. Ақырында, 1944 жылдың 14 мамырында Трейсиден қашуға тырысқанда Санта-Марияның көшірмесі екі жақтауларының арасында тұтқындалып, Флаттоп суға батып қалады. Бастапқы әңгіменің комиксі - Витамин Флинтхарт, ол офицер Мерфиді, содан кейін Флаттопты өзіне витамин таблеткаларын сатып алуға көндіреді және қайт...
Gould's character leads a gang of three hoods and is known as an "ace killer" in one newspaper headline shown in the comic strip (having committed five murders). In the storyline in which Flattop is the featured villain, black marketeers hire him to eliminate Dick Tracy for a fee of $5000: five times his regular rate. Flattop proves his value by quickly orchestrating a successful setup involving an argument over money to capture Tracy in the killer's car, to be transported somewhere where he can be murdered undisturbed. Fortunately for Tracy, Flattop stops just short of doing the deed when he realizes that if his employers are willing to pay such a high price for Tracy's death, then they would surely be desperate enough to pay much more. As such, Flattop decides to blackmail his employers for an additional $50,000, lest he release the detective with the information Tracy needs to arrest them. Hiding in a boarding room while the transaction is completed, Tracy learns that a resident living with her mother downstairs is a WAC who is learning Morse code. Taking advantage of an available piano in the room, he plays it and stamps on the floor in code as if keeping time to his music, hoping that the WAC below, Margie Elong, will recognize the call for help. Sure enough, Elong and her mother get the message and alert the police. However, even as Tracy's partner, Pat Patton, is preparing for a rescue; Flattop, having closed his blackmail deal, prepares to shoot Tracy while he is surrounded by his henchmen. On Flattop's count of three, Tracy interrupts the assassination by lunging at the killer and wrestles for his gun. In the struggle, Tracy manages to kill a henchman, "Machine Gun" Eddie, with a Tommy gun, using it to kill the rest of Flattop's gang even as the police were storming the hideout. While the police tend to Tracy, the detective suggests that it be publicly announced that he was found dead, anticipating that Flattop's employers would contact the killer soon afterward. The black marketeers take the bait, call Flattop's number to invite him for a celebration and the police quickly arrive to arrest the lot of them. However, Flattop escapes and becomes a hunted fugitive hampered by his extremely distinctive appearance. This leads to a long chase, during which Flattop stays in a boarding house while being extorted by the crooked child, Bud Jenkins, who is hiding him. The child drowns in a lake while skating with expensive new skates he buys with the blackmail money. This leads Tracy to the boarding house, forcing Flattop to flee. In a comic relief episode Flattop decides to hide his $50,000 in an old family album that he has hollowed out, as he is afraid that if he goes out with this much money he might be mugged; when Tracy visits the boarding house to question the dead boy's mother about her son flashing $50 bills around town, a reporter in need of a good picture of the deceased finds the money in the album. When questioned, the mother realizes that the money could only have come from her roomer, forcing Flattop to flee the scene just as Tracy storms the room. This begins a chase sequence that lasts for six months beginning at the end of 1943. First, Flattop hides in a chimney and is stung by bees in a hive that he disturbs there. Then, slipping away stung and covered in honey, Flattop forces a street hawker selling gasoline as fraudulent cleaning fluid to use it to clean him, then murders the hawker to fake his own death and to steal his victim's war bonds. Eventually, Flattop hides out in a hotel, but the war bonds blow out a window and betray his location. In desperation as the police officer reports this to headquarters, he hides in the room of Vitamin Flintheart, an aging ham actor. After attempting to explain his trespass, Flattop assaults Flintheart and uses his makeup supplies for a disguise. Tracy, Patton and Flintheart continue the search and battle Flattop after almost being fooled by a child to whom Flattop had passed off his disguise in hopes of making him a decoy. Flattop is severely wounded, but is successfully treated in custody. Loath to let Flattop slip into oblivion, Gould managed to find a way to continue the story. The comic strip details Flattop's escape from custody, the taking of Flintheart hostage, and his hiding in the harbor area. Eventually, on May 14, 1944, Flattop is drowned attempting to flee Tracy, after getting trapped between two struts of a replica of the Santa Maria. In the original story, comic relief is afforded by Vitamin Flintheart, who cons Officer Murphy and then Flattop into buying him vitamin pills and, when asked to repay, always answers, "Charge it". More relief is afforded by Flintheart who, while trapped on the Santa Maria replica, claims he cannot swim since he fell into his aunt's lily pond at a tender age. In a 1986 storyline, reporter Wendy Wichel approaches Dick Tracy with new information concerning Flattop and an incident in World War II which was kept secret and in which Tracy was involved. Before Flattop encountered Tracy in 1944, Flattop was hired by the Nazi spy Boche, a. k. a. Pruneface, to kidnap FBI Agent Jim Trailer, a close friend of Dick Tracy's, and a scientist Trailer and Tracy were protecting: Professor Roloc Bard. Flattop's instructions were to kill Trailer and hand the professor over to Pruneface. Bard warned Flattop that he will be shipped overseas to make deadly weapons for the Axis cause, which caused Flattop to double cross Pruneface and auction Bard and Trailer off to the highest bidder. Authorities in Washington, DC, ostensibly participating in the auction, authorized Tracy to negotiate while they traced Flattop's call. Tracy and his partner, Pat Patton, broke into Flattop's hideout and freed Trailer, while Flattop escaped with the Professor. Flattop tied Bard up in the same replica of the Santa Maria where he would later drown. Flattop's last appearance in this storyline was his meeting with Pruneface to collect his $50,000 and tell him where to find Bard. Pruneface swore that he would kill Flattop if he ever dared to betray him again.
Flattop-тың арқасында құрылған кейіпкерлер
Флаттоптың танымалдығына жауап ретінде Гулд кейіпкерге үлкен отбасы құрды, олардың көпшілігі де бірдей ерекше қылмыскерлер болды. Олардың ішінде:
As a response to Flattop's popularity, Gould created a large family for the character, most of whom were also equally bizarre hardened criminals. These included:
Flattop Jr. – The son of Flattop, an engineering genius who had customized his car into an arsenal of equipment designed to keep him ahead of the law. His accomplice during his crime wave was Joe Period, who Flattop Jr. left to be captured by Dick Tracy and partner Sam Catchem. Flattop Jr. was driven insane by the ghost of a girl he killed, to the point that his hair turned white. He was killed in self defense by Tracy's new partner Lizz Worthington who was also the sister of the girl who was murdered by Flattop Jr.
Stilleta "Mrs. Flattop" Jones – The widow of Flattop Jones and the mother of Flattop Jr. and Angelica "Angeltop" Jones and a former circus performer bent on revenge for the deaths of her husband and children. She was recently killed while fighting with Sprocket Nitrate over trying to force her to be an accomplice on the planned kidnapping of Dick Tracy's grandson Dick "Trey" Tracy III, after which Sprocket killed her by throwing a 100 pound metal film can at her. Unnamed sister – Looks exactly like Flattop and Sharptop (possible triplet), real name was never given, but was referred to by Tracy as "Auntie Flattop". Took care of her nephew Flattop Jr. after Flattop drowned and, like her other cousin Sharptop, seemed like a law abiding person. She genuinely cared about her nephew and was heartbroken when he turned to crime. Blowtop – A brother of Flattop whose distinctive feature was an explosive temper that caused him to rage at the slightest provocation, but only on trivialities; he took legitimate criticism on important matters without complaint. Blowtop was responsible for the kidnapping of Junior Tracy and the arson of Tracy's home. Like his brother Flattop, he has dealt with Vitamin Flintheart, who traded his shirt full of money for a shrunken head. He served 20 years in jail and later reformed. He rejected his niece Angeltop's plan to kill Tracy with the Brow's son and has not been seen since. He recently resurfaced by having his sister in law Stilleta living with him and was nearly murdered by her after an argument with her on a planned kidnapping of Dick Tracy's newborn grandson Dick "Trey" Tracy III. Angeltop – Angelica "Angeltop" Jones, the daughter of Flattop who has a head of equivalent dimensions, not including her fuller hair, sought to murder Dick Tracy in revenge for the death of her father and Policewoman Lizz for killing her brother. Angelica had arrived to do a television interview about her book My Life as Flattop's Daughter. Junior Tracy and Vitamin Flintheart were in the same studio, and Angelica's boyfriend, the Brow's son, shot Vitamin Flintheart. After a fire on the Santa Maria replica in the lake (the same place where her father drowned under) nearly killed her after an attempt to murder Tracy, she had plastic surgery by crooked doctor Willis Carver, whom she later killed. She was arrested later but was broken out of jail by terrorists who wished to sabotage industrialist Diet Smith's nuclear power plant. When that scheme went awry, Angeltop committed suicide with dynamite. Hi Top – The son of Angeltop and an unnamed African American jazz musician who was murdered by Angeltop after she found out that he was planning to divorce her and also planned to take sole custody of the infant Hi Top. Hi Top is, consequently, the grandson of Flattop. He is introduced as the leader of a black street gang, and is recruited by "Little Boy", the alleged grandson of Tracy's original arch enemy "Big Boy" Caprice, alongside Restless Mahoney, the niece of another iconic Tracy villain; Breathless Mahoney. Together, the three form a brief triumvirate of legacies to Tracy's rogues gallery. Sharptop – A third Jones brother (Flattop's identical twin) who grew up right, became a college professor, and was apparently possessed by the ghost of his brother during a seance held by Gravel Gertie's vegan, female chauvinistic, New Age enthusiast niece, Crystal. Poptop – The beer guzzling father of Flattop, Auntie Flattop, Blowtop, and Sharptop, the father in law of Stilleta, the grandfather of Flattop Jr. and Angeltop, the uncle of Frizzletop, and the great grandfather of Hi Top. Considered the criminal members of the family a disgrace and kept his distance from all of them. Croptop Stylistically challenged sister of Flattop and daughter of Poptop. She sports short hair on top, a buzz cut on the sides, and a mullet. She has the puckered lips and general face shape of her family. She wears a crop top showing her midriff. She was first introduced in April, 2024, freshly released from prison with a backstory not previously covered by the strip. With this introduction so long after her siblings in the timeline of the family, her brother Blowtop indicated that there were only five siblings, making her the final sibling to be introduced.

Flattop Jr. – Флаттоптың ұлы, инженерлік дарын иесі, ол өзінің машинасына заңнан қашуға мүмкіндік беретін жабдықтарды орнатқан. Оның қылмыстық әрекеттері кезінде серігі Джо Период болды, оны Флаттоп Jr. Дик Трейси мен серіктесі Сэм Кэтчемге ұстатты. Флаттоп Jr. өлтірген қыздың күйесінен ақыл-есін жоғалтып, шашы аққа айналды.

He rejected his niece Angeltop's plan to kill Tracy with the Brow's son and has not been seen since. He recently resurfaced by having his sister in law Stilleta living with him and was nearly murdered by her after an argument with her on a planned kidnapping of Dick Tracy's newborn grandson Dick "Trey" Tracy III. Angeltop – Angelica "Angeltop" Jones, the daughter of Flattop who has a head of equivalent dimensions, not including her fuller hair, sought to murder Dick Tracy in revenge for the death of her father and Policewoman Lizz for killing her brother. Angelica had arrived to do a television interview about her book My Life as Flattop's Daughter. Junior Tracy and Vitamin Flintheart were in the same studio, and Angelica's boyfriend, the Brow's son, shot Vitamin Flintheart. After a fire on the Santa Maria replica in the lake (the same place where her father drowned under) nearly killed her after an attempt to murder Tracy, she had plastic surgery by crooked doctor Willis Carver, whom she later killed. She was arrested later but was broken out of jail by terrorists who wished to sabotage industrialist Diet Smith's nuclear power plant. When that scheme went awry, Angeltop committed suicide with dynamite. Hi Top – The son of Angeltop and an unnamed African American jazz musician who was murdered by Angeltop after she found out that he was planning to divorce her and also planned to take sole custody of the infant Hi Top. Hi Top is, consequently, the grandson of Flattop. He is introduced as the leader of a black street gang, and is recruited by "Little Boy", the alleged grandson of Tracy's original arch enemy "Big Boy" Caprice, alongside Restless Mahoney, the niece of another iconic Tracy villain; Breathless Mahoney. Together, the three form a brief triumvirate of legacies to Tracy's rogues gallery. Sharptop – A third Jones brother (Flattop's identical twin) who grew up right, became a college professor, and was apparently possessed by the ghost of his brother during a seance held by Gravel Gertie's vegan, female chauvinistic, New Age enthusiast niece, Crystal. Poptop – The beer guzzling father of Flattop, Auntie Flattop, Blowtop, and Sharptop, the father in law of Stilleta, the grandfather of Flattop Jr. and Angeltop, the uncle of Frizzletop, and the great grandfather of Hi Top. Considered the criminal members of the family a disgrace and kept his distance from all of them. Croptop Stylistically challenged sister of Flattop and daughter of Poptop. She sports short hair on top, a buzz cut on the sides, and a mullet. She has the puckered lips and general face shape of her family. She wears a crop top showing her midriff. She was first introduced in April, 2024, freshly released from prison with a backstory not previously covered by the strip. With this introduction so long after her siblings in the timeline of the family, her brother Blowtop indicated that there were only five siblings, making her the final sibling to be introduced.
Stilleta "Миссис Флаттоп" Джонс – Флаттоп Джонстың жесірі және Флаттоп Jr. мен Анжелика "Анжелтоп" Джонстың анасы, сонымен қатар күйеуі мен балаларының өлімінен кек алуға ниеттенген бұрынғы цирк артисі. Ол Дик Трейсидің немересі Дик "Трей" Трейси III-ті ұрлауға мәжбүрлеу үшін Спрокет Нитратпен күрескен кезде қаза тапты, содан кейін Спрокет оны 100 фунт салмақтағы металл пленка қорабымен өлтірді.
As a response to Flattop's popularity, Gould created a large family for the character, most of whom were also equally bizarre hardened criminals. These included:
Flattop Jr. – The son of Flattop, an engineering genius who had customized his car into an arsenal of equipment designed to keep him ahead of the law. His accomplice during his crime wave was Joe Period, who Flattop Jr. left to be captured by Dick Tracy and partner Sam Catchem. Flattop Jr. was driven insane by the ghost of a girl he killed, to the point that his hair turned white. He was killed in self defense by Tracy's new partner Lizz Worthington who was also the sister of the girl who was murdered by Flattop Jr.
Stilleta "Mrs. Flattop" Jones – The widow of Flattop Jones and the mother of Flattop Jr. and Angelica "Angeltop" Jones and a former circus performer bent on revenge for the deaths of her husband and children. She was recently killed while fighting with Sprocket Nitrate over trying to force her to be an accomplice on the planned kidnapping of Dick Tracy's grandson Dick "Trey" Tracy III, after which Sprocket killed her by throwing a 100 pound metal film can at her. Unnamed sister – Looks exactly like Flattop and Sharptop (possible triplet), real name was never given, but was referred to by Tracy as "Auntie Flattop". Took care of her nephew Flattop Jr. after Flattop drowned and, like her other cousin Sharptop, seemed like a law abiding person. She genuinely cared about her nephew and was heartbroken when he turned to crime. Blowtop – A brother of Flattop whose distinctive feature was an explosive temper that caused him to rage at the slightest provocation, but only on trivialities; he took legitimate criticism on important matters without complaint. Blowtop was responsible for the kidnapping of Junior Tracy and the arson of Tracy's home. Like his brother Flattop, he has dealt with Vitamin Flintheart, who traded his shirt full of money for a shrunken head. He served 20 years in jail and later reformed.

Аты-жөні белгісіз әпке – Флаттоп пен Шарптопқа ұқсас (мүмкін үштік), оның нақты аты ешқашан айтылмады, бірақ Трейси оны "Флаттоп әпке" деп атады. Флаттоп суға батқаннан кейін оның немере інісі Флаттоп Jr.-ге қамқорлық жасады және оның басқа туысы Шарптоп сияқты заңды сақтайтын адам сияқты көрінді. Ол немересіне шынайы қамқорлық жасады және оның қылмысқа бет бұрғанына қатты қайғырды.

Ол 20 жыл түрмеде отырды, кейіннен түзеліп, Ангелтоптың Трейсиді Браудың ұлымен өлтіру жоспарына қарсы болды және содан бері көрінбеді.

Angeltop – Анжелика "Анжелтоп" Джонс, Флаттоптың қызы, шашы толық емес, бірдей өлшемдегі басқа ие, ол әкесінің және полиция қызметкері Лизздің өлімінен кек алу үшін Дик Трейсиді өлтіруге тырысты. Анжелика өзінің "Флаттоптың қызы ретіндегі өмірім" атты кітабы туралы телеарнада сұхбат беруге келді. Джуниор Трейси мен Витамин Флинтхарт сол студияда болды, ал Анжеликаның жігіті, Браудың ұлы, Витамин Флинтхартты атып өлтірді. Трейсиді өлтіруге тырысқаннан кейін көлдегі Санта-Марияның көшірмесіне (әкесі суға батқан жер) өрт шыққаннан кейін, ол жемқор дәрігер Уиллис Карверден пластикалық операция жасатып, кейіннен оны өлтірді. Кейін ол тұтқындалды, бірақ индустриалды Дит Смиттың атом электр стансасын саботажға салуға ниеттенген террористер түрмеден босатып алды. Бұл жоспар сәтсіз аяқталғаннан кейін, Ангелтоп динамитпен өзін-өзі өлтірді.
As a response to Flattop's popularity, Gould created a large family for the character, most of whom were also equally bizarre hardened criminals. These included:
Flattop Jr. – The son of Flattop, an engineering genius who had customized his car into an arsenal of equipment designed to keep him ahead of the law. His accomplice during his crime wave was Joe Period, who Flattop Jr. left to be captured by Dick Tracy and partner Sam Catchem. Flattop Jr. was driven insane by the ghost of a girl he killed, to the point that his hair turned white. He was killed in self defense by Tracy's new partner Lizz Worthington who was also the sister of the girl who was murdered by Flattop Jr.
Stilleta "Mrs. Flattop" Jones – The widow of Flattop Jones and the mother of Flattop Jr. and Angelica "Angeltop" Jones and a former circus performer bent on revenge for the deaths of her husband and children. She was recently killed while fighting with Sprocket Nitrate over trying to force her to be an accomplice on the planned kidnapping of Dick Tracy's grandson Dick "Trey" Tracy III, after which Sprocket killed her by throwing a 100 pound metal film can at her. Unnamed sister – Looks exactly like Flattop and Sharptop (possible triplet), real name was never given, but was referred to by Tracy as "Auntie Flattop". Took care of her nephew Flattop Jr. after Flattop drowned and, like her other cousin Sharptop, seemed like a law abiding person. She genuinely cared about her nephew and was heartbroken when he turned to crime. Blowtop – A brother of Flattop whose distinctive feature was an explosive temper that caused him to rage at the slightest provocation, but only on trivialities; he took legitimate criticism on important matters without complaint. Blowtop was responsible for the kidnapping of Junior Tracy and the arson of Tracy's home. Like his brother Flattop, he has dealt with Vitamin Flintheart, who traded his shirt full of money for a shrunken head. He served 20 years in jail and later reformed. He rejected his niece Angeltop's plan to kill Tracy with the Brow's son and has not been seen since. He recently resurfaced by having his sister in law Stilleta living with him and was nearly murdered by her after an argument with her on a planned kidnapping of Dick Tracy's newborn grandson Dick "Trey" Tracy III. Angeltop – Angelica "Angeltop" Jones, the daughter of Flattop who has a head of equivalent dimensions, not including her fuller hair, sought to murder Dick Tracy in revenge for the death of her father and Policewoman Lizz for killing her brother. Angelica had arrived to do a television interview about her book My Life as Flattop's Daughter. Junior Tracy and Vitamin Flintheart were in the same studio, and Angelica's boyfriend, the Brow's son, shot Vitamin Flintheart. After a fire on the Santa Maria replica in the lake (the same place where her father drowned under) nearly killed her after an attempt to murder Tracy, she had plastic surgery by crooked doctor Willis Carver, whom she later killed. She was arrested later but was broken out of jail by terrorists who wished to sabotage industrialist Diet Smith's nuclear power plant. When that scheme went awry, Angeltop committed suicide with dynamite. Hi Top – The son of Angeltop and an unnamed African American jazz musician who was murdered by Angeltop after she found out that he was planning to divorce her and also planned to take sole custody of the infant Hi Top. Hi Top is, consequently, the grandson of Flattop. He is introduced as the leader of a black street gang, and is recruited by "Little Boy", the alleged grandson of Tracy's original arch enemy "Big Boy" Caprice, alongside Restless Mahoney, the niece of another iconic Tracy villain; Breathless Mahoney. Together, the three form a brief triumvirate of legacies to Tracy's rogues gallery. Sharptop – A third Jones brother (Flattop's identical twin) who grew up right, became a college professor, and was apparently possessed by the ghost of his brother during a seance held by Gravel Gertie's vegan, female chauvinistic, New Age enthusiast niece, Crystal. Poptop – The beer guzzling father of Flattop, Auntie Flattop, Blowtop, and Sharptop, the father in law of Stilleta, the grandfather of Flattop Jr. and Angeltop, the uncle of Frizzletop, and the great grandfather of Hi Top. Considered the criminal members of the family a disgrace and kept his distance from all of them. Croptop Stylistically challenged sister of Flattop and daughter of Poptop. She sports short hair on top, a buzz cut on the sides, and a mullet. She has the puckered lips and general face shape of her family. She wears a crop top showing her midriff. She was first introduced in April, 2024, freshly released from prison with a backstory not previously covered by the strip. With this introduction so long after her siblings in the timeline of the family, her brother Blowtop indicated that there were only five siblings, making her the final sibling to be introduced.

Hi Top – Анжелтоптың ұлы және аты-жөні белгісіз афроамерикандық джаз музыканты, Анжелтоп онымен ажырасуға және нәресте Hi Top-ты жалғыз өзі тәрбиелеуге жоспарлап отырғанын білгеннен кейін өлтірді. Осылайша, Hi Top – Флаттоптың немересі. Ол қара көше тобының жетекшісі ретінде таныстырылады және Трейсидің ескі жауы "Биг Бой" Капристің немересі деп саналатын "Литтл Бой" оны басқа Трейсидің тағы бір әйгілі жауының немересі – Тынықсыз Махонимен бірге жалдайды.

Angeltop – Angelica "Angeltop" Jones, the daughter of Flattop who has a head of equivalent dimensions, not including her fuller hair, sought to murder Dick Tracy in revenge for the death of her father and Policewoman Lizz for killing her brother. Angelica had arrived to do a television interview about her book My Life as Flattop's Daughter. Junior Tracy and Vitamin Flintheart were in the same studio, and Angelica's boyfriend, the Brow's son, shot Vitamin Flintheart. After a fire on the Santa Maria replica in the lake (the same place where her father drowned under) nearly killed her after an attempt to murder Tracy, she had plastic surgery by crooked doctor Willis Carver, whom she later killed. She was arrested later but was broken out of jail by terrorists who wished to sabotage industrialist Diet Smith's nuclear power plant. When that scheme went awry, Angeltop committed suicide with dynamite. Hi Top – The son of Angeltop and an unnamed African American jazz musician who was murdered by Angeltop after she found out that he was planning to divorce her and also planned to take sole custody of the infant Hi Top. Hi Top is, consequently, the grandson of Flattop. He is introduced as the leader of a black street gang, and is recruited by "Little Boy", the alleged grandson of Tracy's original arch enemy "Big Boy" Caprice, alongside Restless Mahoney, the niece of another iconic Tracy villain; Breathless Mahoney. Together, the three form a brief triumvirate of legacies to Tracy's rogues gallery. Sharptop – A third Jones brother (Flattop's identical twin) who grew up right, became a college professor, and was apparently possessed by the ghost of his brother during a seance held by Gravel Gertie's vegan, female chauvinistic, New Age enthusiast niece, Crystal. Poptop – The beer guzzling father of Flattop, Auntie Flattop, Blowtop, and Sharptop, the father in law of Stilleta, the grandfather of Flattop Jr. and Angeltop, the uncle of Frizzletop, and the great grandfather of Hi Top. Considered the criminal members of the family a disgrace and kept his distance from all of them. Croptop Stylistically challenged sister of Flattop and daughter of Poptop. She sports short hair on top, a buzz cut on the sides, and a mullet. She has the puckered lips and general face shape of her family. She wears a crop top showing her midriff. She was first introduced in April, 2024, freshly released from prison with a backstory not previously covered by the strip. With this introduction so long after her siblings in the timeline of the family, her brother Blowtop indicated that there were only five siblings, making her the final sibling to be introduced.
Flattop Jr. – The son of Flattop, an engineering genius who had customized his car into an arsenal of equipment designed to keep him ahead of the law. His accomplice during his crime wave was Joe Period, who Flattop Jr. left to be captured by Dick Tracy and partner Sam Catchem. Flattop Jr. was driven insane by the ghost of a girl he killed, to the point that his hair turned white. He was killed in self defense by Tracy's new partner Lizz Worthington who was also the sister of the girl who was murdered by Flattop Jr.
Stilleta "Mrs. Flattop" Jones – The widow of Flattop Jones and the mother of Flattop Jr. and Angelica "Angeltop" Jones and a former circus performer bent on revenge for the deaths of her husband and children. She was recently killed while fighting with Sprocket Nitrate over trying to force her to be an accomplice on the planned kidnapping of Dick Tracy's grandson Dick "Trey" Tracy III, after which Sprocket killed her by throwing a 100 pound metal film can at her. Unnamed sister – Looks exactly like Flattop and Sharptop (possible triplet), real name was never given, but was referred to by Tracy as "Auntie Flattop". Took care of her nephew Flattop Jr. after Flattop drowned and, like her other cousin Sharptop, seemed like a law abiding person. She genuinely cared about her nephew and was heartbroken when he turned to crime. Blowtop – A brother of Flattop whose distinctive feature was an explosive temper that caused him to rage at the slightest provocation, but only on trivialities; he took legitimate criticism on important matters without complaint. Blowtop was responsible for the kidnapping of Junior Tracy and the arson of Tracy's home. Like his brother Flattop, he has dealt with Vitamin Flintheart, who traded his shirt full of money for a shrunken head. He served 20 years in jail and later reformed. He rejected his niece Angeltop's plan to kill Tracy with the Brow's son and has not been seen since. He recently resurfaced by having his sister in law Stilleta living with him and was nearly murdered by her after an argument with her on a planned kidnapping of Dick Tracy's newborn grandson Dick "Trey" Tracy III.

Croptop – Флаттоптың стиліне келгенде қиындықтарға тап болған әпкесі және Poptop-тың қызы. Оның басының үстінде қысқа шашы, екі жағында қысқа қырқылып, артқы жағында ұзын шашы бар. Оның еріні құрғақ, бет пішіні отбасына тән. Ол жамбасын көрсететін топ киеді. Ол 2024 жылдың сәуір айында түрмеден жаңа шығып, бұрын strip-те көрсетілмеген өмірі туралы айтты. Осы таныстыру отбасылық уақыт сызығында бауырларынан кейін көп уақыт өткеннен кейін, оның ағасы Блоутоп тек бес бауыр бар екенін көрсетті, оны таныстыруға соңғы бауырласты айналдырды.
As a response to Flattop's popularity, Gould created a large family for the character, most of whom were also equally bizarre hardened criminals. These included:
Flattop Jr. – The son of Flattop, an engineering genius who had customized his car into an arsenal of equipment designed to keep him ahead of the law. His accomplice during his crime wave was Joe Period, who Flattop Jr. left to be captured by Dick Tracy and partner Sam Catchem.

Дик Трейси радио шоуының бір эпизодында Флэттоп таныстырылды. "Флэттоп" деп аталған бұл хабарлама қазір archive.org сайтынан тегін қолжетімді. Ральф Бердтің басты рөлде ойнаған ерте телесериалдың бір эпизодында Джон Клифф Флэттопты жарты сағаттық, комикс сюжетіне өте жақын негізделген эпизодта бейнеледі. Актердің басын жалпақ етудің немесе шашын осылай кесудің орнына, Клифф басының үстін жалпақ екенін көрсететін үлкен берет киді. 1990 жылғы комикске негізделген фильмде оны Уильям Форсайт ойнады. Бұл бейімделуде ол басты жаман Альфонс "Биг Бой" Капристің (Ал Пачино) қолдаушысы болды және Трейсимен болған атыс кезінде қаза тапты. Флэттоп "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" атты Daffy Duck-тың қысқа фильмінде де пайда болады, онда аниматорлар оның басынан бірнеше кішкентай ұшақтар ұшып кететінін көрсеткен, сондай-ақ Daffy оларды атып өлтіргеннен кейін шкафтан құлаған өлген жамандардың арасында оны көруге болады. "Дик Трейси Шоуда" оның дауысын Бенни Рубин берді және ол барлық тоналауларында Б. Б. Айспен жұптастырылды.
An episode of the Dick Tracy radio show featured Flattop. Titled "Flattop", this broadcast is now available for free from archive. org. In an episode of the early TV series starring Ralph Byrd, John Cliff portrayed Flattop in a half hour episode based fairly closely on the comic strip story. Rather than giving the actor a flat head, or a haircut that made his head look flat, Cliff wore a large beret that suggested a flat top. In the 1990 film adaptation of the comic strip, he is played by William Forsythe. In this adaptation, he was a henchman of the main villain, Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice (Al Pacino) and is killed during a shootout with Tracy. Flattop appears in the Daffy Duck short "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery", in which the animators portrayed several mini aircraft taking off from his head, he is also seen among the dead villains falling out of the closet after Daffy shoots them. In The Dick Tracy Show, he was voiced by Benny Rubin and was paired up with B. B. Eyes in almost all his heists.
