Thomas Wright was a young senator. While idealistic, he was not principled enough to resist political pressure, especially when it came from the corrupt Senator Jaspar Crow. When his fiance, Wendy Foster, called him a coward and threatened to break off their engagement Wright found the courage to oppose Crow’s pork-ridden dam appropriations bill. In retaliation, Crow hired gangsters to dispose of him, and arranged to have an ally cast a vote in Thomas’ place. The plan would have worked perfectly if Black Condor didn’t spot the dying senator while he was on patrol. Black Condor was shocked to find Wright and he looked identical, which allowed the flying hero to impersonate Wright and vote against Crow’s bill. Black Condor took Wright to Wendy’s father, Dr. Foster, but the doctor was unable to save his life. With Wright dead, Dr. Foster persuaded Black Condor to take Wright’s place full-time. Wendy and all of Wright’s friends and colleagues had no idea he’d been replaced. Black Condor proved to be more courageous and outgoing than Wright ever was.
