the ultimate goal of goading him into an epic showdown that would go down in history as one of the greatest superhuman battles of all time. It is eventually revealed that he is Marshal Law's supposedly crippled friend, Danny. Danny is actually the Public Spirit's son with his supposedly dead former fiancée, Virago, who had inherited both of his parents' powers and thus is the most powerful superhuman in existence.
