Powers:

Harold Higgins was a former reporter for Hollywood Herald. He was born in a small town in Vermont. He had a happy childhood but, ever since he was born, he seemed to have bad luck when it came to anything related to the number 13. Those instances of bad luck were mere nuisances compared to what happened on his 13th birthday, however.

On that day, his parents held a lavish party in their home. His "best girl" Helen came to visit from Boston (where her family had moved previously). When the happy couple went to play the "guessing game," however, a chandelier fell on Helen's head, killing her instantly. A year later, on April 13, 1941, Harold was fired from his job at the Hollywood Herald for refusing to stop investigating the disappearance of actor Larry Miller and where Chinese-American nightclub owner and socialite Ah Ling had anything to do with it. The incident inspired him to embrace the number that haunted him for so long. He became a costumed crime-fighter known as 13 and set out to investigate Larry Miller's disappearance on his own. He discovered that his suspicions were correct and that the Herald's owner was secretly in league with Ah Ling. 13 was able to rescue Miller and bring his former editor and Ah Ling's henchmen to justice, but the mastermind herself managed to get away.

Inspired by his experience, he decided to move to New York City and keep fighting crime as 13. 13 saved a 13-year-old steel heir Darrel Creig when his unscrupulous uncle tossed him from the top of the Statue of Liberty. Darrel became his sidekick, Jinx. They continued to work together for the remainder of Jinx's life.

  • Probability Control (Phenomenal)
  • Super Armor (Astounding protection) - 13 has a slightly different costume with a black tunic that provides Astounding partial armour. It also amplifies his Probability Control but also removes one probability point when worn. In return, the first successful Kill result suffered by 13 when he is wearing his "Lucky 13" black tunic uniform is treated as a miss.
