Bertram “Binky” Biggs was a typical teenage middle child with atypical adventures of a comedic nature, which he shared with his big sister Lucy, baby brother Allergy and girlfriend Peggy.
On on occasion on 1948*, Binky and Peggy tried to meet up and after a series of misconnections, decided to meet at a specific store for their future dates. Unfortunately, this was the day when Superman moved this building to a location in order to free it up for a children’s playground!
Decades later, in 1978, a still youthful Binky was among those assembled in private detective Angel O’Day’s office during a Crisis event*. At that time, he met a variety of colorful characters including the old west gunfighter Bat Lash and the future Planeteer known as Tommy Tomorrow (along with the Inferior Five of Earth-Twelve). Due to rifts in time and space, these individuals were brought together on that day in 1978. However, Binky’s contemporaneous adventures indicate he was a child of the 1970s.
It would seem that the Binky who witnessed Superman’s tremendous feat was of Earth-Two, and the Binky in Angel’s office was of Earth-One. This younger Bertram Biggs also had siblings named Lucy and Allergy as well as a sweetheart named Peggy.
