Boston Brand has
always cheated death. As the phantom-faced Deadman, Brand was the attraction of
Hills Brothers Circus, an aerialist who defied death nightly, thrilling his
crowds without benefit of a safety net. That all ended when the elemental spirit
Rama Kushna engineered Brand's murder in order to gain an operative that could
literally walk between the living and the dead. Now a true, Deadman, Brand
discovered that he could posses the bodies of most living beings while remaining
intangible and invisible to the living world. In Rama Kushna's employ, Brand
maintain a balance between good and evil while hoping that one day Rama would
release him for his ethereal servitude. But Rama was destroyed before she could
grant such a reprieve. Doomed to his wraithlike existence, Deadman nevertheless
continues to strike a balance, helping mortals in need and "borrowing"
bodies in return, simply to remember what it was like to be alive.
Deadman roams
the spirit world freely, bound to neither heaven nor hell, nor any points in
between. |
