Star athlete Hank Steele went to college on a football scholarship. But when an injury left him off the team and he had to abandon his studies, Steele opted to pursue a career in the United States Marine Corps. He stood out, managing to quickly rise to the rank of captain. His colleagues and subordinates nicknamed him Captain Devildog because of his fierceness and determination. During a mission his entire team was massacred, with him being the only survivor. After this traumatic experience he discharged from the Marine Corps and returned to Columbia City, but it was no longer the city he had known. The once peaceful city had fallen under the clutches of organized crime. Robbery and murder had become commonplace. Steele decided to take matters into his own hands. Hooded and dressed completely in black and armed with his katana and a small arsenal of automatic weapons, he dedicated himself to cleaning the city of scum, street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood. Devildog became a local hero, but also a fugitive from the law. No wonder he eventually got caught by the feds. However, given his high level of effectiveness, he was given the option of becoming a special operative and Steele accepted. Since then he kicks the bad guys' ass not only at home, but around the world.
