The original Dummy was a recurring foe of the Vigilante and his sidekick Stuff, who retired from crime before Danny borrowed his identity. Years later, this Dummy murdered Stuff which led Vigilante and Stuff's son Stuff Jr. to avenge his death, finally bringing the Dummy to justice once more.
That Dummy’s counterpart from another Earth was a recurring foe of Law's Legionnaires. As a member of the Hand's Five Fingers, this Earth-Two Dummy was a frequent foe of his world’s Vigilante and Stuff.
After the human Dummy’s second appearance, a wooden Dummy also named Cholly McCasey was animated and brought to life by the Spectre (in More Fun Comics #92). This now sentient synthetic Dummy became corrupted by the original Dummy, while retaining a small portion of Spectre’s power. The human Dummy along with his full-sized henchman and the smaller McCasey-Dummy became the ventriloquist act known as Skipper, Flipper and Dipper. The trio started a crime wave at high society events until Flipper aka the original Dummy was revealed by Vigilante as the true culprit.
Several months later, McCasey-Dummy exiled Vigilante and his fellow Seven Soldiers of Victory into par eras using a time machine. The Law's Legionnaire known as Shining Knight sought the aid of Leonardo Da Vinci due to his invention of a time machine identical to that later used by the Dummy. Returning to the 20th century, the Legionnaires captured McCasey-Dummy and his henchmen. In the 1960s, Spectre absorbed the McCasey-Dummy, then split off again… this time into two heroic personas
Decades after the human and wooden Dummys’ heyday in the 1940s, yet another Dummy would appear named Vargo. This version like his counterpart Danny the Dummy was a one-hit-wonder, before the Spectre tracked him down and avenged Vargo’s murdered victims by bringing this Dummy to justice.
