Guess Haney caught the Wild One at one point. Robin gets invited to a motocross race and he brings the Titans along with him. Which is good, as the race gets crashed by the Scorcher! Who's he?
Mostly just your typical no-good biker punk, only he wears a fireman's hat. He enters the race with his cronies but the other racers act as if they have no choice "they'll wreck the race?"
Why? If he didn't formerly enter, he wouldn't be considered the winner, right? Plus, there's the fact that he tries to outright murder Robin during the race. One would that would be enough to disqualify him, but I guess bike races were a bit more lenient in the 60's. The Scorcher gets taken out mostly by Wonder Girl
