Confusing, before Guile, a different (and similar) character, The Globetrotter appeared.
An unloved actor. Thought of as talentless and unlikable.
Went on a world tour, everybody booed.
When returned to USA, didn`t have money left.
Pissed off at the world for not appreciating. For ruining.
Wanted revenge, so became a crafty crookster.
Traveled around the world, broke the law, eluded the Dynamic duo and the police multiply, but was eventually catched by Batman and Robin.
