Darrel Creig was 13 years old when his father died, leaving him the heir to the family’s steel fortune. His scheming uncle threw Darrel off the top of Statue of Liberty. Luckily, the hero 13 saw him fall and caught him in midair. Darrel wanted to help 13 bring his uncle to justice. The hero gave him a costume and dubbed him Jinx. After Darrel’s uncle was brought to justice, Darrel continued to assist 13 as Jinx. Since Harold Higgins took Darrel in, it can be assumed that 13 became his guardian. Darrel’s steel fortune was rarely, if ever, brought up again (though it may be what paid the duo’s bills, since 13 didn’t seem to have any job in his civilian identity).
