Origin
Seven Soldiers of Victory I The criminal mastermind known as the Hand learning that he is gravely ill and has less than a month to live pledges to make the world remember him long after he is gone. Gathering five villains together to challenge certain heroes and their sidekicks he dubs them the Hand's Five Fingers. Professor Merlin battles the Spider, the Needle battles the Star-Spangled Kid and Stripesy, Red Dragon battles the Shining Knight, Big Caesar battles the Crimson Avenger and Wing, and the Dummy battles the Vigilante and Billy Gunn. When the criminals are defeated, the Hand decides to kill the heroes himself, and invites them to his home, which is filled with traps. Learning a of a cure for his illness, he becomes even more determined than ever to defeat the heroes to avoid prison. At the conclusion of the Hand's confrontation, the villain aims his lightning-ray machine at the heroes, but the Vigilante shoots the machine down, apparently killing the Hand. Deciding they worked well together, the heroes resolve to officially form a team of law's legionnaires called the Seven Soldiers of Victory.
