Fictional character biography

Lee Portman was a 300-pound man from Australia who emigrated to the United States, where he started a crime spree wielding a boomerang, until he was stopped by Kid Colt.[2] Later, he encountered the criminals Doctor Danger and Bennington Brown, and the three were contacted by Iron Mask, who invited them to join his newly-formed Circus of Crime. They accepted, but the gang was stopped by Kid Colt.[3]

Fat Man later joined the second incarnation of the Circus under Iron Mask, which was put together to form a supervillain team, inspired by events triggered by the time-travelling Kang and Avengers.[4] But before their gang could gain momentum, the bandits were stopped by Rawhide Kid, Two-Gun Kid, Phantom Rider and the time-stranded West Coast Avengers and sent to jail.[5]
