HISTORY

Beau Baer was hypnotized manipulated by the Golden Glider into becoming the Ringmaster, a new super-hero of Central City. Using the Glider's high-tech weapons to embark on an impressive crime fighting career, Ringmaster developed a friendship with the Flash (Barry Allen), but also started to outshine him, making Barry consider ending his Flash gig. The Glider was revealed to have fallen in love with her own creation (due to making him into a similar image of her dead lover: the Top) and thus decided to keep under her control forever and thus decided to frame the Flash for killing his wife. But, the Flash thwarted the Glider's plans, and Beau Baer's Ringmaster identity was retired.

Recently, Ringmaster was seen selling his weaponry in " the Network", Blacksmith's black market of Keystone City.
