Origin[]
Duncan Warner was an American train robber, murderer, road agent who terrorized the southwestern territories of the 19th century. In the town of Los Amigos, the townspeople were eager to put their electric chair to use in executing someone. When Duncan Warner fell into their hands, they are eager to put an end to his reign of terror.
The town doctor opposed the use of electricity, fearing excessive usage, but he was overruled. However, the electricity ends up having the opposite effect on Warner and winds up boosting his vitality, allowing him to defy death for centuries. It will take hundreds of years to exhaust the enormous nervous energy infused within him, making him virtually unkillable.
He lives on to commit more crimes, surviving repeated attempts at electrocution, hanging, and even bullets through the body.
