History:
Born and raised in Mustang River, Wyoming, Savage was trained by his poverty-stricken father to be a consummate marksman, learning that the gun is merely an extension of the man who wields it.

At his dying father's bedside, Savage swore to make the old man proud of him by making Savage a name to be remembered.

Enlisting in the Army Air Corps at the onset of World War I, Savage repeatedly disobeyed orders, breaking formation to attack and destroy the German combat balloons, which earned him his nickname. Though his commanding officer, Major Michaels, continually sought to court-martial Savage, General Talbot of High Command applauded his actions, and demanded he be kept in combat.

Savage was one of the most aggressive warriors of that "war to end all wars", and he dueled often with his enemy counterpart, Germany's famed Rittsmeister Hans Von Hammer.

Powers:
While not a particularly skilled hand-to-hand combatant, Savage was an accomplished barroom brawler, and would frequently defeat his foes through sheer tenacity. Savage was also a matchless marksman with any sort of firearm, from a simple Colt .45 revolver to the twin Vickers machine guns mounted on his canary-yellow spad.

As the war progressed Savage also became an accomplished pilot, handling any sort of biplane with ease.

Whether or not Savage survived the First World War, and thus his current whereabouts, is at present unknown.
