Miller was a soldier serving in France who was given the nickname “Froggy” because of his frog-like appearance (popping eyes, big mouth, and bow legs), which he greatly resented. Eventually booted out of the army for being “a coward and a thief”, Miller swore revenge on his old unit. Donning a costume and calling himself “The Frog”, Miller made his first move in the middle of a massive Mardi Gras parade, which had an entire float dedicated to honoring his former allies. Hurling a harpoon from a balcony overlooking the parade, he managed to successfully kill his ex-post commander. Unfortunately for The Frog, among the crowd of onlookers was the super-heroine Wildfire, who quickly gave chase. Initially his defeat seemed inevitable, as Wildfire’s powers melted his metal harpoon, but after using a nearby fire-hose to render Wildfire powerless, he was able to easily elude capture. Expecting further interference from Wildfire, The Frog hired two henchmen specifically to deal with her. While she was busy, he planned to sneak into the hotel his former unit was staying at so that he could kill the remaining legionaries in their sleep. While the henchmen were able to successfully chloroform the heroine, they made the mistake of trying to kill her with fire, which only revived her and increased her powers. However, by the time Wildfire was able to confront and defeat The Frog, he had already taken several more lives. Upon his capture, Miller’s murder spree was dubbed “the Mardi Gras murders.”
