Background
After his mother was murdered by a burglar who broke into the family mansion, young Ralph River's surgeon father threw himself into his research. He developed a pair of wings, which he subsequently grafted on to Ralph's back; the boy hid these beneath his clothes, giving him the appearance of a hunchback.
