Biography

Pre-Crisis

Pinky Butler

In 1941, Pinky lived with his widowed mother in Gotham City. One night, a monstrous man on a random killing spree broke into their house and killed Pinky's mother. Pinky swore to find the monster and avenge his mother's murder. The next day, local lawyer and civic volunteer Brian Butler took Pinky to the Oaklawn Orphanage and offered to help Pinky in the future. Pinky settled into orphanage life, but several weeks later he saw the monster who killed his mother leaving the orphanage. He contacted Brian Butler, who searched for the monster as Mister Scarlet. Mr. Scarlet found the monster, but the monster disappeared when they reached the orphanage. Mr. Scarlet left confused, but Pinky found evidence that the monster may be his teacher Dr. Jelke. Pinky donned a superhero costume he had made and investigated further, discovering that Dr. Jelke has been transforming into the monster, calling himself Mister Hyde. Pinky then ran into Mister Scarlet who had returned to investigate further, and together they stopped Dr. Jelke, who then committed suicide. A few days later, Brian Butler adopted Pinky, ostensibly to keep Pinky from endangering himself helping Mister Scarlet, but by that time Pinky had figured out that Butler was Mister Scarlet, and convinced Butler to let him be his sidekick.
