History: (Daredevil
I#78 (fb) – BTS) – To celebrate new successes in
his writing career, George Alec (a Yale graduate) and his wife Dia
(whom he
sometimes called "Dee Dee") moved to New York City from Connecticut.
(Daredevil I#78) – George pulled Dia into an alley
for a
kiss when three criminals, Bull, Itch and Freak-Face, accosted them,
seeking to
kidnap them as experiments for the Professor. When Bull wanted to enjoy
Dia
himself, George stood up to him, calling Bull a troglodyte, and Bull
began
hitting George as Dia begged him to stop. Daredevil intervened,
fighting off
the criminals with George helping DD fight the trio off. Daredevil took
George
and Dia to district attorney "Foggy" Nelson for help but Nelson
refused. He then
took the Alecs to the home of Matt Murdock, whom he said was out of
town, so
they could stay safe. Later, they went out for a hamburger, not knowing
that
Freak-Face and Itch were looking for them.
(Daredevil I#79) – George and Dia were taken to
the
Professor, who was prepared to experiment on them. George tried
fighting back
but was ineffective until Daredevil arrived, then Man-Bull and
Daredevil
battled. The hero got the Alecs to safety and soon defeated Man-Bull.
Although
Daredevil offered to let the Alecs keep staying at Matt Murdock's home,
they
met up with Gardner instead.
