Destiny was a crime-buster who after he got a "Queer dizziness" got magically moved to where crime was brewing by mystic forces. In Police Comics #15 (January, 1943) '711' tracked a criminal named Oscar Jones to his lair, whereupon Jones shot and killed him. The murder was witnessed by a mysterious character named Destiny, who often seemed to be in the right place to witness such things. The following issue, Destiny took over 711's position in the comic, and that was the end of one of comics' least probable superheroes. Destiny's first adventure was to bring in Oscar Jones.
