Boston Brand was once a famed circus acrobat under the name of Deadman, a stage persona including a red costume and white corpse makeup. That all changed when he got murdered by the League of Assassins during a performance. For the many kindnesses that Brand had performed during his life, Deadman was saved and given his powers by Hindu goddess of balance, Rama Kushna, so that he should find his killer and settle the score. His semi-resurrection is both a blessing and a curse, for that his powers include permanent intangibility and the inability to be seen or heard by anyone.
