Gerald Marsh was a jeweller in Manhattan, whose business was doing poorly. He decided to steal from his competitors, and came up with a plan to hopefully avoid capture. Disguised with a costume, an exo-skeleton, and a fake disintegration ray, he became the Protector. First, as Marsh, he reported himself being harassed and his gems destroyed by the Protector. Then, as the Protector, he began a protection racket, demanding that other jewellers pay him each week or he would batter them and destroy their gems. |
