Judge Straight started out as an all-star lawyer, becoming the youngest jurist in the state. After the wife of a man he sentenced to death criticized him for too closely following the letter of the law instead of his heart, and being out of touch with the downtrodden, Straight explored the streets at night. He came across a black cat belonging to Bull Brewster, gang leader and murder victim of his last trial. He took the cat to the gang’s hideout, posing as a thief looking for refuge. Put up in Brewster’s old room for the night, Straight found a demon costume Brewster was wearing when he was murdered. He puts it on and searches the house, coming across evidence of Brewster’s real killer. Straight confronted the Eel, defeated him, and rushed him to the police, so the scapegoat wrongfully convicted of the murder could be set free. Straight would struggle with the guilt of harshly judging defendants in court, compelling him to investigate the case on his own, often proving his original judgment to be incorrect. He had no powers, but was a skilled fighter and operated from a secret lair.
