| Hovel was fired from his job as headmaster of an exclusive private prep school for administering excessive corporal punishment. His obsession apparently drove him to establish a costumed identity to administer spankings to the guilty wherever they may be. He was one of four mediocre would-be super-villains recruited by Dr. Angst to form the Band of the Bland. Their first mission was to assassinate Howard the Duck, who was at the time the presidential candidate for the All Night Party. Angst duped them into believing that they were in it solely to rise above their current levels and achieve fame. | ||||
