Not Lex Luthor either. @Lunastella . But you have got the hair part (or the lack of it) right!

Hint: Don't go into the comic, superhero, sci-fi, fantasy, etc., territory. Think Neo-Western. :violence-pistoldouble:

Is it Walter White? His character is featured in Breaking Bad series, and your clues somehow matches facts about this fictional character. The character used Heisenberg to hide his identity because he was mixed up in some illegal drug activities. Apparently Heisenberg was a name borrowed from a physicist. @Mindful Wordsmith

For those who might be interested (spoilers ahead):

Walter White from Breaking Bad was diagnosed with cancer. To fund his treatment, he began making Meth using his chemistry knowledge. He obviously got involved with the drug Mafia. Later, it became an obsession for him to make more money and he turned into an anti-hero.

The fly clue refers to the divisive episode featuring a fly. Some viewers loved it but others hated it.

And as Nerea has already mentioned, he used the alias Heisenberg (German Physicist Werner Karl Heisenberg) to hide his identity.

I'm still thinking this one over. Trying to remember my ancient Greek mythologies.

Thank you :D
Your guess is good, but that's not the name I'm looking for.

Hint: I am an outer space of a star in the solar system.

It's neither Bailey's Beads nor Titan, but they are all good guesses. The outer space of titan moon is not hotter than the one I'm talking about.

Hint 1: I am an outer space of a star in the solar system.
Hint 2: I share a name with a dangerous disease that has claimed many lives.

I think you are right, @Gravy.
Congratulations already. :congratualtions-smiley:

For those who might be interested:

Source Wikipedia:
Corona - Latin for 'Crown' which is derived from Greek for 'Garland' or 'Wreath'.
The Sun's corona extends millions of kilometres into outer space and is most easily seen during a total solar eclipse. Spectroscopy measurements indicate strong ionization in the corona and a plasma temperature in excess of 1000000 kelvin, much hotter than the surface of the Sun.

It's still a scientific mystery why the temperature of the Sun's corona is millions of kelvins greater than that of the surface.
