Wing How
Post-Crisis
Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
On October 31, 1938, the 25-year-old Travis attended a Halloween masquerade, a charity ball for which he dressed as a 'highway robber' — in a suit, hat, mask, and crimson capelet. The proceeds were intended for the relief of Hankow, China, which was the homeland of Lee's driver, Wing How. During the ball, guests tuned in to Orson Welles' War of the Worlds radio play. The guests' panic was exacerbated by an attack on the party by men dressed like Martians. Travis and Wing pursued the robbers and captured them but his friend, reporter Claudia Barker, was killed. Lee claimed her golden lighter, which read 'qui vindicet ibit' (Translation: the avenger will come". The phrase inspired Travis to continue crime fighting. In the papers, he became mysterious vigilante called "the Crimson." (Secret Origins v2 #5)
Post-Flashpoint
Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
