Ware started out as a truck driver in the south. He fell into the hero business by accident, knocking out a gangster by mistake. He fell into a bit of trouble after that, until he struck on the idea of a mask and thus Stagger Lee prowled the streets of Memphis.
But hiding behind a mask did little for the young Ware, thus he went up North and joined the Superstars. He needed a gimmick, something to make him stand out, but what?
Then a macaw crashed through his living room window and inspiration struck. Donning his flashiest duds, and taking the bird with him, the Birdman was born!
He did alright throughout the 80s but the 90s would be less kind.
