HISTORY

Shakedown was a super-powered mercenary and a member of the Masters of Disaster, who fought the Outsiders, Starman (Jack Knight), and Bobo Benetti, among others. Originally, he had a crush on teammate Windfall, but that diminished after she chose the path of a super-hero. Recently, Shakedown and New-Wave, another of his teammates, kidnapped a child without getting a ransom for it. When Shakedown (apparently) made it clear that he was opposed to taking the baby's life, New-Wave killed Shakedown, drowning him with her water-based powers.

POWERS AND WEAPONS

Shakedown was tremendously strong, almost invulnerable, and could generate powerful vibratory forces.
