About Dan

Dan was born in New York City. As a scientist, he engineered a pair of extremely long, telescopic metal legs, which allowed him to tower high over the ground. Dan had a long, unsuccessful career against Daredevil. He also once took on Thor in a special adamantium armor suit, but lost the fight and was stripped off his suit by the victorious thunder god. During this period, Dan romanced and eventually married Circus of Crime member Princess Python. Dan was crippled by an RPG from The Punisher. Then, when the Superhero Registration Act offered Dan a chance at redemption, he signed up with the government and was outfitted with a new suit of armor to serve as a law enforcer during the Civil War. Unfortunately for Dan, one of his assignments led him into conflict with the Punisher, who paralyzed him with an M72 LAW and then shot him at point-blank range, killing him. Dan's funeral was held in the Bar With No Name, and was attended by his fellow also-rans of the crime world. Sadness turned to remembrance, which turned into high spirits, which eventually led to a full-scale fight breaking out. The appearance of Spider-Man put an end to the violence, but the bar was then promptly blown up by the Punisher in an attempt to kill all the villains inside. It was later mentioned that "they all had to get their stomachs pumped and be treated for third-degree burns."
