Anton Allegro and Hector Bauer were a pair who skipped to their own beat. Each attempted to be master musicians, yet both proved unsuccessful. Both used music to avenge themselves from those whom they felt wronged them.
Anton Allegro attempted to sell an musical synthesizer prototype to wealthy Oliver Queen. After Oliver rejected this offer, Anton ended up deaf due to a sonic arrow used by Queen’s alter ego Green Arrow on a case. Seeking vengeance against Queen, Arrow, his former manager, ex-wife, and mentor who each rejected him, Allegro used the synthesizer to control destructive extra dimensional energy, Allegro fought Arrow and the Justice League of Earth-One. Although initially overpowered, the League ultimately defeated Anton.
Hector Bauer was also an unsuccessful musician, who saw seven of his childhood friends each accomplish this artistic and career goals. While each tried to help Hector to achieve his dreams, the reality was that he had no talent, coupled with temporary amnesia which added to his frustration. When Hawkman of Earth-Two interferred in Bauer's assassination attempt on his former friend, Hector used a chemical spray to immobilize the Feathured Fury. However, through his trained hawks, Hawkman was able to enlist the aid of his Justice Society allies, each of whom protected Bauer's intended victims and together defeated him.
Eventually Allegro fled back to his native Russia, although his synthesizer was stolen by government agent Pasha Gonkij who alongside his military Brother sought to use it to mentally control three members of the Justice League. However, the new League from Detroit and Anton himself defeated Pasha... though at cost to Allegro’s life.
