Avenger

Real Name: Paul Murasaki
Background: Paul Murasaki was a half-American whose father was a famous ninja warrior. As was traditional for the Murasaki family, the boy was raised by a ninja clan called the Secret Swords and grew to become one of their most feared agents. However, his father was executed for failing to obey orders and kill an innocent woman. In return, Paul swore to destroy the ninjas who trained him. In New York, he worked as a crimefighter and vigilante and joined the super team known as the Outsiders. After many adventures, he eventually returned to Japan to kill Black Scorpion, and then retired to his garden. However, he was later recruited for Watchstar when that team came up against the Secret Swords.
At least one account claims that Avenger is actually the reincarnation of a powerful ninja warrior, who is repeatedly reborn, always after dying a painful death. He retains partial memories of his previous incarnations. Now Avenger is slowly trying to piece together his past and his destiny, in order to break the cycle of reincarnation.
Avenger was recently linked in a romantic relationship to the superhero Quarry.
He has been seen in the company of the New York crimefighters called the Night Shift.
