Dr. Spaulding was a man who worked 18 hours a day helping the poor and downtrodden in a Hub City Hospital. He gained a reputation over the years as a saint who cared about the people he helped. The pain and suffering he saw on a daily basis created a deep psychosis and decided it was time for justice to be dealt for those that had caused this suffering. He took the name Mikado from Gilbert and Sullivan's comedic operetta The Mikado His mask was of Japanese design, and like the character the Lord High Executioner he began to deal out swift justice to those that caused pain. He exacted revenge in the forms of torturing people in the ways they had inflicted pain on others. For example he cut all of the fat off of a man who was starving his children.
