Who is Dollar Bill?

Origin Dollar Bill was originally a star athlete from a Kansas college. When banks began to notice the increase in people dressing up in costumes to work as vigilantes, they decided to hire Bill. He moved to New York and became a sort of "in house" hero. He was more like a publicity stunt because the banks would say they had a real hero to protect them and their money. He eventually became a member of the Minutemen . The banks did everything and even made a uniform for him, but it turned out to be his demise. While trying to save one of the banks he worked for, the cape from his uniform got caught in a revolving door. He couldn't get loose, and an unnamed thief shot him at point blank range.
