Origin[]

Daniel Dyce was a District Attorney and also almost an exact twin of his friend Jacob Horn. Jacob, however, was in prison, but he wanted to see his wife give birth. So Daniel agreed to trade places with his friend. Unfortunately, Jacob was killed in a car crash on the way to the hospital, leaving Daniel trapped in prison. Daniel was able to tunnel out of the jail, but he returned to his cell instead of escaping. Every night, he used the tunnel to escape and fight crime, only to return to his cell before the morning. Daniel adopts the name #711, his prisoner number, as his crime fighting moniker.

Two years later, 711 was killed by mobster Oscar Jones. The hero Destiny sees this take place and begins his own crime fighting career as he works to bring Oscar Jones to justice. 711 possessed no superpowers. He mostly fought mundane gangsters, with the notable exception of the Brick Bat.
