Biography
While Percy van Norton was spending time at a night club with a beautiful woman, a group of gangsters stormed the club and stole her valuable pearl necklace. Van Norton slipped out and donned his Strongman costume, trailing the men in their car. He followed them to a ship docked nearby, which he found to be a disguised German raider ship. Strongman took down the men aboard, disabled the ship, and recovered the pearls.[1] Shortly afterward, he helped overthrow a Central American dictatorship,[2] and protected a small Balkan nation from another invading dictatorship.[3]
