History

in the 1940s, he played the role of the Scarlet Snake, a cunning mobster who controlled half of Astro City's underworld activities. He eventually "retired" and somehow lost the bulk of his wealth. Ferguson then became a crime broker. Based in Kiefer Square, he specialised in arranging "jobs" between black masks and those that hire them. He was also active in other illegal activities, trading caches of cheap knock-off goods in the Sweatshop.

In the 1960s, Ferguson helped arrange for young Carl Donewicz to become a subject in Dr. Ganss's experiments, transforming Carl into the Steel-jacketed Man, aka Steeljack.

As a broker, Ferguson was involved with many black masks, including: Handgun, Goldenglove I, Cutlass, Steeljack, Quarrel I, the Mockery, Chain, Wolfhound, Longhorn, Muscleman, Jackdaw, Glue Gun, The Fog, Strangematter, Smoke, Mirrors, the Mock Turtle, and Goldenglove II.

When black masks began dying to the Kiefer Square killer, Ferguson helped arrange for Steeljack to investigate these deaths. His sweatshop 'goods' included an inventory of high-tech blasters which he distributed to residents of the Keifer Square neighborhood to defend a black mask called the Mock Turtle from the Chessmen, a group of thugs who pursued him from London.

After the Conquistador's plot was foiled, Ferguson fled Astro City.
