BRIEF Bio - Tommy does not know who his parents are, though given his Caucasian complexion, there's a good chance they were British soldiers. He grew up alone and abandoned in the mountains of Waziristan, on the border between British India and Afghanistan. He does not know why or how, but as soon as he was of age to speak, he found he could understand and communicate with the animals around him. He was able to barter his life, trade, tame the animals and even learn skills from them. By the time soldiers found him at twelve years old, the feral child was an accomplished survivalist and tracker and fearsome hunter.

The soldiers took him in, taught him to speak, read and write English, gave him a rudimentary education, and explained the current state of the wider world. He found a bow and arrows lying around once and took up archery as both a hobby and a tool to make hunting much easier and more efficient. He was then trained to be a soldier and instructed in the use of firearms and guerrilla warfare. But he was disillusioned with war itself. All of the enemies of the British Army throughout the 1930's were small rebel factions who just wanted to resist the tyranny of the Empire. Tommy eventually decided to desert and travel to the United States, a land advertised as neutral, free, and a place where any hardworking person could make it in life. He vowed that the next time he took up arms, [b]if[/b] he ever took up arms, it would only be to oppose true evil.

Potential Storylines - Besides beginning his road to Herodom and joining a team, Tommy could also try learning to drive.
Additional Notes - Wanted to capture the more 'pulp' side of Golden Age comics. It was this or a detective.[/hider]
