Biography[]

Early life[]

James was a loving husband and father who one day went to the mall with his family. There, however, several armed attackers appeared, who began to murder them all, and as a result of continuous fire, Edlund lost his relatives.[1]

Spectre of the Gun[]

James, unable to do anything about it, decided to show Star City what a man with a gun could do. So he entered the town hall unnoticed, where he began shooting everyone and everything, and then ran away. As a result of this attack, several people were killed, several were injured, and several were hospitalized in a critical condition. James, however, wasn't going to stop there, and his next target was the hospital. There, however, just before the attack in the corridor, he met the mayor, who tried to convince Edlund to be reasonable. The man finally realized that he became the same man as those who murdered his family, until he handed over the gun to Queen and was arrested.[1]
