The Highwayman was a motorcycle gang member. One day a brawl he was in was witnessed by Basil Crushstone, a.k.a. the Manipulator, deposed ruler of the African nation of Umbazi. The former despot was impressed by the Highwayman's combat prowess, and outfitted the thug with a number of high tech weapons, including an armed and supercharged motorbike. Promised great rewards for his services, the newly made super villain vowed to help his benefactor regain his throne. |
