Origin
Leaper Logan escaped from the Springdale Maximum Security Prison when he built a hovering device in the prison's machine shop. Logan wanted the police and the media to look like fools and he started stealing numerous items that started with the letters that spelled Leaper. Leaper Logan would come into conflict with
Robbie Baldwin as the
Masked Marvel when he stole a punjab pendant from his mother,
Maddie Baldwin. The Masked Marvel was having a hard time controlling his direction during the fight and Leaper Logan was able to escape by scaling a building with his suction pads. Robbie found a list that his father compiled of Logan's crimes and discovered that he was spelling his name with the crimes he was committing. Logan's next move had to do something with the letter R and the Masked Marvel intercepted Leaper Logan at the Hammond Museum when he stole a Roman coin collection. The Masked Marvel chased Leaper Logan all over town until the leaping criminal landed in front of a cop named Burnatt who was the first officer to ever bust Logan. Leaper Logan was arrested and placed behind bars.
