Origins:
 
Jake Mallard and his two brothers were construction workers in New York City, employed by contractor Maxwell Plumm. They were unaware of Plumm's business practices, which included bad quality construction gear and budget cuts in security, so that he could earn more money.
Due to those practices, Jake's brothers both died in a fall due to a sudden wind slipping the cable of a girder. Jake noticed the sub-standard materials and the security practices and swore he would have his revenge on Plumm. He then created a custom identity for himself, the Steeplejack, and designed weaponry basing on specialized construction tools.
