Biography
Pre-Crisis
The Dummy
In time, he became a feared crimeboss, and his employees thought he was an ordinary puppet through which their unseen boss spoke. A fellow crimeboss named the Hand built up a criminal empire, and became known as the Caesar of Crime. His doctor let him know he was deathly ill, and had less than a month to live, so he decided to go out in a blaze of glory pass on his teachings to a new generation of criminals, including up-and-comer Big Caesar. The Hand orchestrated daring jail breaks for Caesar, the Needle, and Professor Merlin, and tipped off the Dummy that the police were about to raid his hideout. He told them they'd be the Hand's five fingers. He'd planned a once in a lifetime crime for each of them, but warned them they'd be opposed by their arch-enemies, who he'd taunted to top them in the morning's paper. The Hand gave Dummy a plan that involved kidnapping Hollywood stars, replacing them with stone sculptures, and claiming to having used a ray that turned them to stone, demanding a ransom to turn them back to normal. The Hand tipped off Vigilante to the scheme, and the mystery man uncovered the ruse. The Dummy animated himself, and hid behind sculptures of future kidnapping victims. He engaged in a firefight with Vigilante, but the hero shot the sculptures, which toppled on top of his enemy, rendering him helpless.
Post-Flashpoint
Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events. The Dummy was originally a Victorian man who was turned into a wooden dummy by a wizard's curse and was imprisoned in a location in the Magiclands called the Monsterlands following a fight with the 'heroes of yesterday'. Dummy introduces himself as Exile #413 and directed Mister Mind and Doctor Sivana to a boat that would take them to the Dungeon of Eternity. He cannot go with them to the Dungeon of Eternity because he cannot deal with water, due to him being made of wood. (Shazam! v3 #10)
