Mary Brinker was born with genetic alterations that caused her strength and resistance to physical harm to develop to superhuman levels. She worked as a carnival strongwoman and also as a wrestler using the alias of Madame Muscle. She usually fought and easily defeated men or groups of men, with the exception of another superhuman fighter, Daphne Dill (aka Demolisher), whom she was never able to defeat. Mary herself contracted a debt with a gangster named Ratt and to pay it off she began working as a thug for him, thus starting her career as a criminal. Over time, Mary grew fed up with Ratt's abuse and always being in the background, so she eliminated her boss and assumed leadership of the gang. For a while things went pretty well for her, but some of her minions didn't feel quite happy with being led by a woman and set her up. She appeared to die in an explosion, but some time later she reappeared as a member of the Death Patrol.
