The Polish Hammer-Superstars Profile#120

Ivan Putski

Real name: Jozef Bednarksi

Hometown: Krakow, Poland 

Membership: Superstars, partners with Tito Santana 

A.K.A.: Hercules Jim Bednarksi

Finisher: The Polish Hammer 

Background: A tough talking PI might be a bit cliche, but it works. 

Ivan, after his family moved to the USA, worked a variety of jobs. He disliked bullies, which tended to get him into trouble. In 1974 he found himself working in New York, where he sort of fell into the detective line. He was good, good enough to get on with the Superstars and working with Pedro Morales. 

Later he worked alongside rookie NYPD detective Tito Santana, and even helped get him on the Superstars. Sadly the 80s would be less than kind and he officially retired in 1987. He came out of retirement a few times in the 90's to help his son Scott.
