Background: Casey Brannet joined the circus as a teenager, a runaway from a past he prefers not to discuss. It is even questionable if Casey is even his true real name. He was a quick study, learning to be an acrobat and a trapeze artist. He took to it quite naturally. But, by age 25, he grew tired of the low pay and decided to start committing crimes in the various towns the circus travelled. He eventually was caught and went to jail. While in prison, he was exposed to others who committed crimes as costumed criminals. Casey decided that he too would go that route, and once on the outside again he adopted the identity of the Mimic. He billed himself as a super-acrobat and master of disguise. He hooked up with Shadow Dancer, and the two even battled Phantom Lady and the Golden Archer. Even though he was mostly a thief and master of disguise, the Mimic was asked to join the Octagon when Shadow Dancer was recruited. After a battle with the young hero team known as the Protectors, he along with a few others were left behind while the others escaped. After doing some jail time, he was approached by Geometric Man to form a new Octagon. Despite his feelings for the Dancer, the Mimic declined, preferring to go the solo route once more. More recently, he was hired by a Los Angeles mob to rob blind a rich Hollywood mogul. The Mimic pulled off the crime, kep the money for himself and implicated the mob boss in the process. The mob has since put out a contract on the villain. Motivation: The Mimic lives for a challenge. He will often go out of his way to commit daring, public crimes - often disguised as someone important. He enjoys fooling the police and heroes with his skills. The monetary rewards are almost secondary to the rush he gets from committing the crimes themselves. He truly wants to prove himself as a top-rate villain. Also, though he hates the circus, the Mimic will hide out there when the heat turns up. One could wonder if the reason Casey loves impersonating others is because he is trying to escape from his own life.
