History

1940s

Crime fighter during the 1940s.

During an as yet unrevealed adventure, the 5th-Dimensional being Dr. Nobody magically extended the lifespans of SMASH members, along with other heroes. That, combined no doubt with other encounters with magic/time travel/etc., enabled Norris to remain active for several decades.

1960s

Imprisoned in suspended animation in 1969 with the other members of SMASH.

2000s

Revived by Tom Strong in 2000.^[3]

Accepted a job from organized crime to eliminate the Terror 2000 program and was killed in the process.^[4]

He was buried in a ceremony for Lance Lewis, American Eagle and Eaglet. It was decided that it reflected better on SMASH if people thought he died as a hero.
