Biography[]
The man known only as Mister Bones, suffered from a condition wherein his epidermis had become translucent, giving the appearance that he was nothing more than a living skeleton. He also possessed the ability to generate cyanide, from his fingertips, which could burn human flesh. Calling himself Mister Bones, he became a member of a super-villain team called Helix.
Mister Bones raided the Malibu home of Sylvester Pemberton, which had been occupied at the time by Sylvester's friends in the Infinity, Inc. super-hero team. Bones wanted to steal the solar-powered armor of Hector Hall, aka the Silver Scarab, but wound up getting into a fight with Hector's fiancé, Hippolyta Trevor. During the fight, the armor was shredded. Mister Bones killed Hippolyta's pet Kanga and rendered her unconscious. He took her hostage and left a photo behind for the Infinitors to find, baiting them to come rescue her. [1]
