Biography

Pre-Crisis

Tex Thompson

Tex, Daley, Reynolds and Deborah arrived on the Malay isle ruled by a white woman. Daley felt uneasy, even though everyone else assured him there was no danger. The ruler's guard tried to bring Deborah to the dungeons, so Tex shot him in the hand. This fulfilled a prophecy about the princess' lord arriving with a loud noise, and suddenly the guests were treated well. Tex did not like the idea of being married off, and when he was told he'd have to undergo the trial of water-fire and sword to prove himself he intended to take a dive. His plan went awry when he realized his life was on the line. He had to swim through water and stab a shark, battle a swordsman to the death, and passed a wall of fire by soaking a blanket in water and running through. The princess was pleased with her success, and told her guards to present Tex to her. (Action Comics v1 #11)

Post-Crisis

Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
