For the most part the Hoods would prove successful, but their masks would influence a greater evil as the Great Depression overtook the country.
He was known as the Regal Hand of Living Gold. A descendant of ancient Indian royalty, he traveled to River City in 1934. He claimed to be there to build his fortune in a new homeland. But his real goals proved far more sinister.
The Regal Hand ruled over a dangerous order known as the Ten Fingers. A group of deadly assassins, the Regal Hand used his minions to completely cement control of the city. Even Merry Mann’s Hoods proved no match for the super-genius criminal. They died by the dozens, often killed in ways that seemed all too natural.
Merry proved to the Regal Hand’s final victim, killed by the Regal Hand himself. With a knife left in her back, she was meant as a message to any that would come after her that the Regal Hand of Living Gold now ruled River City.
Fortunately for the city, all hope wasn’t lost. Merry had a daughter, hidden even from her. With the city in the hands of criminals, it would come to a young woman named Gloria to free the city from the Regal Hand’s tyranny.
