HISTORY 

Fred Drake was a member of a trio of circus acrobats called The Flying Apollos, but his teammates were killed. Drake decided to investigate the crime on his own, adopting the masked identity of "The Stuntman". Fred was aided by the famous actor (and amateur sleuth) Don Daring and his girlfriend, also an actress, Sandra Sylvan. After solving the case, Fred was hired by Daring to become his stunt double and bodyguard. In addition, Fred continued to fight crime as The Stuntman. Some time later, Drake met the love of his life, professional wrestler Daphne 'Daffy' Dill. Drake stopped being Don Daring's stunt double and joined Daffy in their own show in which they combined the different disciplines they dominated. The duet was a huge success and they were soon married in Las Vegas. Since then, the couple has shared married life, the world of entertainment and the fight against crime. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Drake didn't have superpowers, but he was an exceptional acrobat and had learned other disciplines during his time at the Bandmaster Circus: Riding, roping, knife throwing, illusionism, hypnotism, judo and many others, excelling in all of them. Fred also had the "Stuntmobile" and was a more than decent detective.

HISTORY 

Daphne Dill, also known as Daffy Dill, was a professional wrestler. She was originally from Kookasow, a small Iowa town and was discovered by wrestling manager Deke Parsons. Daffy fell in love with Deke, although he didn't feel the same. The two traveled across the country in search of matches and Daffy battled various criminals and unusual malefactors outside of the ring, including Atmos Fear, a time-displaced Jack the Ripper, and the witch Terrible Desdemona. Daffy usually fought male wrestlers in the ring, defeating them without disheveled thanks to his superhuman strength. At one point, she met Fred Drake, aka The Stuntman, and they became partners in show business and love. Shortly after they got married in Las Vegas and since then they have been together, in show business, in love and in crimefighting. Daffy has occasionally used the name "Demolisher" as an alias. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Daff is a huge woman with superhuman strength, enough to bend the bars of a cell or knock down a concrete wall with one fist. Daphne is brave, protective and honorable, although she is sometimes overconfident and her manners are not particularly good. But above all she is an exceptional fighter, a true champion.
