Bounty was a hardened, professional bounty hunter who specialized in bringing in fugitives, dead or (sometimes) alive. He was the son of a native from Starhaven and had inherit the tracking abilities of their people. He used these abilities to his new work successfully.

He met the Legion of Super-Heroes when the United Planets hired him to bring in the creature called the Composite Legionnaire. This was a monstrosity formed from the accidental merging of Saturn Girl, Lighting Lad, Colossal Boy, and Shrinking Violet.

While the Legion tried to capture and cure their friends, Bounty was more interested in challenging it. In fact, when the Composite Legionnaire proved difficult to kill or capture, Bounty began to make the fight with the creature personal. Intent on killing it, Bounty attempted to use an illegal nuclear weapon on it/him/her. The Legion stopped him and he was thrown in prison for his recklessness.

It is unclear what relationship had Jaeger with the entity than took possession of Dawnstar, also called Bounty.
