From
the time he was a wee lad, Duncan MacKillop loved to take things apart and
figure out how they worked. As he grew older, this turned into a general love of
the physical sciences and problem solving.
Duncan
had another love as well: adventure stories, from the early science fiction of
Jules Verne to the swords and sorcery of Robert E. Howard to the jungle
adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs. As a result, the young Scotsman was always
trying to develop gadgets for a potential adventuring career. Sadly, research
responsibilities at the University of Edinburgh kept Duncan from having much
time for such endeavors.
But all
that changed a few years back, when Doc Justice and his beautiful daughter
Veronica were visiting Scotland and ended up recruiting Duncan to help them
prove that the caoineag (a Scottish banshee) threatening a highlands village was
nothing but scientific trickery. Realizing that Duncan's scientific knowledge
complemented his own, Doc invited Duncan to join him, his daughter, and their
associates in the adventuring group known as the Friends of Justice. How could
Duncan say no? He resigned from the university, packed his lab equipment, and
joined the Justices in their return to New York.
These
days, when Duncan is not adventuring with Doc and company, he can often be found
tinkering with new gadgets in his lab, challenging his intellect with a new game
or puzzle, or analyzing the latest baseball statistics, trying to figure out how
Doc's beloved Brooklyn Dodgers might be finally able to come out on top.
