HISTORY

An Australian former war-hero who, inspired by America’s mystery-men of the 1940s, donned a mask and fought crime as the Ranger in the 1950s. He possibly joined the international hero coalition known as the Dome (an early version of the Global Guardians).

[Pre-Crisis, the Ranger was the Australian member of the 'Batmen of All Nations' but never joined his comrades in the subsequent 'Club of Heroes' nor appeared with them as the Dome in their post-Crisis revision of Infinity Inc #34. Still, it's safe to assume that the Ranger joined the team later on.]

Dark Ranger was killed by either Wingman or Jonathan Mayhew and impersonated by Wingman before the hero-turned-villain was killed by Mayhew.

A new Dark Ranger, formerly Scout, has appeared and is presumably still active. - Batman #681
