   * Michael Shelby and his father, Senator Dan Shelby, are gunned down by agents of the Grim Circle; the senator dies, but his son barely clings to life. Prof. Martin Lascomb uses his experimental vita-ray machine to revive the injured Michael, but an accident causes him to be struck by thousands of volts of electricity at the same time, granting him the super-powers of strength, vitality, and limited flight. After meeting Walter Green, who retires as the original **Green Mask**, Shelby becomes **[[Green Mask (Michael Shelby)|the Green Mask II]]**. An orphaned boy named Don Mason is injured and also healed by vita-rays, which grant him vitality but doesn't give him super-powers; he becomes **[[Domino the Miracle Boy]]**, the Green Mask II's teenaged crime-fighting partner, who uses a boomerang as his primary weapon. Together, the two bring down the Grim Circle in their first case together. //Note: Michael Shelby's vita-ray-induced super-powers begin to wane a few months after he gains them; it's likely that repeated vita-ray treatments are necessary to give him powers again. Don's last name is never revealed in the comics, so we have given him the last name of Mason in honor of Hollis Mason (Nite Owl) of Watchmen, who like Don Mason wore a domino mask and wrote a memoir about his heroic second life. It should also be noted that Don's surname is not Tracy, since that is the surname of Olivia Tracy, who is Michael Shelby's love interest. Domino is first referred to as Don in Green Mask #6.// [Green Mask #1]   * Michael Shelby and his father, Senator Dan Shelby, are gunned down by agents of the Grim Circle; the senator dies, but his son barely clings to life.
