Who is Knockout?

History During the Great Depression the super-villain who called himself “The Boxer” attempted to rob an bank in Atlanta order to make ends meet. The robbery was going exactly as he planned until the hero, Thor Man, entered the scene. The two men battled briefly, until one of the Boxer’s gloves came loose. Even as the boxing glove fell from his hand, Thor Man struck a decisive blow directly into the middle of the Boxer’s chest. What Thor Man didn’t realize, was that the Boxer’s gloves were the source of his invulnerability and with them gone he was nothing more than a simple man. As a result, Thor Man’s strike crushed the Boxer’s chest; killing him instantly. Horrified and distracted by the carnage his hammer just wrought, Thor Man didn’t notice when the security guard who had been guarding the bank at the time, surreptitiously stole the gloves and slipped away with them. The security guard initially hoped to sell the gloves in order to make ends meet but eventually found that he risk them falling into the wrong hands.
