History

A young marksman named Steve Savage enlisted in the United States Air Corps. On his first mission, he broke formation against orders and succeeded in downing several German attack balloons. Although threatened with a court martial for disobeying orders, Savage developed a reputation as a fighting ace and earned himself the nickname, the Balloon Buster. ^[1]

Notes

• Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.

• In Pre-Crisis continuity, Steve Savage's father was Steven Savage, Sr. In Post-Crisis continuity however, he has been retroactively made the son of Brian Savage, aka, Scalphunter. ^[2][3]

• Base of Operations: France
