History

Able to "will" himself to become inches-tall, he steals an armored car and gets captured by Captain Marvel. After serving out a prison sentence, Baker finds gainful employment as a circus freak, then decides to become an attorney. He quickly moves up the ranks to become District Attorney, fighting crime in the courts and in the streets as Tinyman.
