## History

Tony Zucco was part of a knife-throwing act in the circus. During one of his acts, Zucco accidentally missed and resulted in his father's death. Later on in life, Tony became a mobster in Gotham City and he and his brothers used intimidation methods on all travelling acts and businesses in the city. His brothers are a strongman, a lion tamer and a juggler. When Haley's Circus came in town, Zucco attempted to force the Flying Grasons in paying them protection money but John Grayson wouldn't stand for it and Dick Grayson called the police minutes after they appeared. Batman arrived and stopped them; the only one who he managed to capture was the lion-tamer while the rest escaped.

Seeking revenge on them all for getting his brother arrested, Zucco planned the "Death of the Graysons" by removing the two nuts from the railings they were using. During the act, Mary and John Grayson found out during their performance but it was too late and they both fell to their deaths while Dick was watching. Dick Grayson was then taken in by Bruce Wayne to give him a home and protection. Batman went out to interrogate the strongman and juggler, wanting to apprehend Zucco for killing Dick's parents, but he was knocked out and tied to a knife throwing board by Tony.

Tony started throwing knives at the board to try and intimidate Batman before finally offing him. Luckily, Dick Grayson discovered the Batcave and arrived with the identity of Robin. After a fierce battle, Zucco was eventually taken down by the Dymanic Duo and then was apprehended by the police.
