The Scorpion was a masked terrorist, a member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), who killed the father of Jimmy O'Donnell (the hero known as The Banshee). O'Donnell's life was saved by sheer luck, when the criminal mistook the howl of the wind for the cry of a Banshee (a spirit from Irish mythology that serves as a harbinger of death) and escaped from the crime scene. Jimmy chased the Scorpion across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. Using Scorpion's superstition to his advantage, Jimmy disguised himself as a Banshee, cornering the terrorist and defeating him. Thus, Scorpio is essentially the one primarily responsible for starting the Banshee's anti-crime crusade.
