Ted Parrish was a famous Hollywood film star who found himself typecast as a romantic lead. Frustrated with the situation, Parrish told his producer that he would walk away from his contract if he didn't get a "he-man" role. On the way home, he saw a young woman getting kidnapped by a pair of mad scientists. He used his mastery of disguise to track them down and rescue the girl. In Speed Comics #23, Ted Parrish teamed up with Captain Freedom, Black Cat, War Nurse, and Shock Gibson to repel the Japanese attempt to invade Los Angeles.
