Biography[]
After Benjamin's death, he went to Hell and his soul was claimed by Astra Logue. He became an Encore after his resurrection and took Blue Iguana club. With own Hell gun as well, he became the rich man over the night by blackmailing any person in the town using a stash of pictures hidden in Burbank's grave. With his fortune he was able to buy the police as his protection force. Anyone who will try to arrest or kill him will end up badly, like the private investigators Webb and Moore who were killed by him or rival gangsters. Benjamin also had a girlfriend Jeanie Hill who tried to escape him. After some setbacks, The Legends realized that they would have to defeat him by taking off his Hell gun and replace it with the ordinary one. Benjamin riddled out that the guests like Sara are his enemies and he tried to kill her, but was kicked down by Rory. He was defeated by the Legends, and while Sara was originally going to keep him imprisoned on the ship, John Constantine had other plans. John then overthrew Sara's decision to house Benjamin on the Waverider and sent Him back to Hell. During his meeting with Astra, Constantine used the Hell gun to kill Benjamin.[1]
