The Crawler worked for gangster Joe Chizzler. Both were part of an insurance scam. For his part, The Crawler would literally crawl down a building’s rooftop and tap on windows. If the unsuspecting victim leaned out the window, the Crawler would push them down below to a grim death, hoping the police would think it was a suicide. Bob Phantom caught on to the scam and went after the Crawler. Bob pulled him by his safety harness, causing him to fall to his death. Later, Bob killed Joe Chizzler by throwing him out a window.
