Biography[]
Known only as the "Dancer", this tall and slender criminal resided in New York City, New York. Known for his shiftiness, he considered himself the fastest heist in the rackets. One evening, while cracking a safe, the overhead light in the room suddenly flickered on. A powerful levitation ray pulled Dancer through the light and he re-materialized inside the laboratory lair of the Masked Marauder. Along with two other men of note, wrestler Tobe "The Mangler" Levine, and strategist Wilder "The Brain" Berne, he was encased inside of a glass tube. The Masked Marauder used his technology to siphon life energy from all three individuals to empower a robot android that he called the Tri-Man. From Dancer, he borrowed a portion of his swiftness. [1]
Although they were abducted against their will, Dancer had no qualms about serving the Marauder and his goals. When the Marauder captured Daredevil, Dancer fought against him. Daredevil had heard of Dancer and knew how agile he was, but he was able to keep the criminal off his feet by rotating him with his legs and hurling him into glass canisters which contained The Mangler and The Brain.
