[1] A former low-level supervillain and member of Helix, he reformed and joined the Infinity Inc. team, then later the Department of Extranormal Operations (a government agency which regulates superhero activity) as a bureaucrat, eventually rising to the rank of Regional Director for the Eastern Seaboard.
[3] Later, the six young adults learned the true story of their origin from reading Love's diary and confronted him.
[4] After the supposed death of Doctor Love and taking their cue from the superheroes they had watched on television, the six created costumes to go with the names Doctor Love had given them and called their group Helix with them taking on names like Penny Dreadful, Tao Jones, Kritter, Baby Boom, and Arak Wind-Walker.
In the ensuing struggle Carcharo is stabbed with a long piece of metal and in a last-ditch effort bit Bones's leg off, and then died from cyanide poisoning.
[7] Mr. Bones received an artificial leg and Dr. Beth Chapel (Doctor Midnight) helped him recover from his injuries, and the two formed a friendly relationship.
[9] For most of his time with Infinity, Inc. Mr. Bones was not a member of the team even though he took an active part in their adventures and became a hero in his own right, and was eventually accepted by most of the Infinitors.
[2] During the wedding of Hector and Lyta Hall, Harlequin (Marcie Cooper) used deception to have Bones and Skyman meet at Solomon Grundy's room.
She then deceived Solomon Grundy into grabbing Bones's arm and using him to kill Skyman with his cyanide touch.
[16] Batwoman, Col. Kane's "Murder of Crows" elite paramilitary group, and the heroine Hawkfire fail to rescue Beth.
Agent Asaf, compromised by Hawkfire,[17] shoots Bones in the head after he threatens to kill Beth rather than hand her over.
[19][20] Bones' mother's exposure to mutagenic drugs during pregnancy gave him three superhuman powers, two of which are extremely inconvenient to his daily life: superhuman strength; transparent skin, flesh, and organs that give him a skeleton-like appearance; and toxic, cyanide-like sweat.
