With the Batman craze sweeping the country in 1966, Marino created a wrestling version of the superhero.

He debuted the persona in the Buffalo, NY area and had a smaller wrestler dressed as Robin.

He formed a tag team with WWWF World Heavyweight Champion Bruno Sammartino.

Marino had then notable feuds with The Stomper, Ben Justice and Killer Tim Brooks.

The titles were held up in June 1974 in match against Ben Justice and Killer Tim Brooks.

They defeated Killer Tim Brooks and Abdullah the Butcher and received the titles back.

Marino's granddaughter, who wrestles as Lady Frost, participated at the NWA 73rd Anniversary Show.
