Kip Burland was a rookie NYPD officer who was charged with a crime he did not commit. Wanted by his own companions, Kip tried to clear his name by finding who had framed him, but they turned out to be a gang of corrupt cops who shot him and left him for dead. Burland was found by an elderly homeless man living in an abandoned subway tunnel. The old man took care of his injuries and, after hearing Kip's story, decided to help him get his life back. After months of hard training, Burland assumed the personality of Black Hood and caught the corrupt cops, managing to clear his name and being re-admitted to the police force. Kip had a girlfriend, Barbara Sutton, who worked as a reporter. Barbara became the super-heroine known as Thumbelina to help the Black Hood. For a time, Kip and Barbara shared adventures with the Tyro Team. Kip continued fighting crime as the Black Hood and as a cop until a criminal unmasked him. After losing his secret identity, Burland hung up the hood, left the police, married Barbara, and the two started a successful detective agency.
