Origin
Emulating his idol, the Punisher, Nigel Higgins fought crime in his native London. He first worked directly with Castle to oppose the Kingpin's plot to use the Chunnel to unite Europe´s mobs under his rule.
After hearing rumors of Castle's death, Outlaw traveled to the United States and assisted the revived Punisher in a fierce battle in Laastekist, Pennsylvania against multiple opponents. Injured in the firefight, he returned to London to recover.
He later allied with the Punisher in a successful mission to squash the Architect's own Chunnel scheme.
