Standing around 6-10 inches tall, Tom was once a sideshow freak in the carnival. However, he grew extremely angry with people making fun of his size. He decided to use his considerable intelligence to become a crime boss. He battled The Doll Man on a regular basis. Tom was agile and cunning in a fight, able to use his size to his advantage against average sized men, who he little difficulty in dispatching. He usually carried a cane which he used as a weapon. By throwing it, he could disarm a man. He was happy to kill and could fire a regular sized gun if he wished.
