Born around the year 1900, Adolph Krimetz was largely rejected by society for most of his life, due to his large canine teeth, pointy ears and wolf-like traits. While attending Sumter Military Academy in 1921, he was dubbed "Wolf" Krimetz. Angry, he attacked one of his tormenters and accidentally killed him. Fearing the law, Krimetz fled into the woods, and took residence in the mountains as a hermit. There, his hatred and resentment toward society consumed him, and he found ample time to plan his revenge. On the fourth of July, 1941, Krimetz set off a bomb during a parade in New York, wiping out an entire city block. He also took a more personal form of vengeance on his former classmates at Sumter, at least one of whom was a general. He was eventually stopped by Lash Lightning.
