Dr. Travers, Danny's father, created an American champion, the artificial man named Yankee Doodle Jones. Danny became the Dandy and together the two joined the Secret Warriors, the Battle Squadron or the Crime Busters. They fought against the Nazis in WWII, against crime and supervillains on the streets of Dynamic City and shared many more adventures. Much later, Harry received the death touch of Cyanide Cindy and Yankee Doodle Jones, seeing the life of his protégé in danger, sacrificed himself so that Danny could live. Danny's consciousness was transferred to Yankee Doodle Jones' android body. Paradoxically, doing so Danny became virtually immortal. Yankee Doodle Jones' mind also survived, in his case as a disembodied cyber-entity still giving advice to Danny. After a period of adaptation to his new body, Danny resumed his heroic career under the Liberty Man alias, helping found and fund the Young Heroes, establishing his base of operations at the Liberty Foundation Headquarters in Dynamic City. Liberty Man dated Tommie Reeves, niece of Tommy Reeves (and heir to the Magic Marble).
Daniel Travers had no paranormal powers, but he was a brave and vigorous young man, well trained and intelligent. When his body died from Cyanide Cindy's deadly touch, Yankee Doodle Jones gave him his synthetic body, making him more than a normal human. From then on, his strength, speed and resistance to physical damage became inhuman. With the help of Yankee Doodle 2.0, he was able to add the ability to fly to his array of powers.
