Only once in several lifetimes does the world get such a man a Richard Henry Benson, known as The Avenger.A man who had amassed a fortune in his early years, he was ready to enjoy life to the fullest with his wife and daughter when disaster struck, which vacuumed his soul right out of his body.His family was taken from him by crime, and to make matters worse, no one believed him. He was forced into an insane asylum. He escaped.His facial muscles were paralyzed by the tragedy, so he could press his face into any position to adopt any guise.From that day on, The Avenger's only drive in life was to bring destruction to crooks who operated beyond the law, and usually he made sure it was by their own hand.
