Fan CastingBlaze Carson

Prior to becoming a sheriff, Dave Carson was a young cattleman working for Dean Hart in Texas sometime after the year 1881. Dave's first drive ended in Dodge City, where he and the other cowboys and drivers stopped to sell their cattle. But a group of thieves stampeded and rustled the herd. Dave and Dean Hart went looking for the rustlers, but the first one they found was packing the gun of Billy the Kid, and in the shootout Dean Hart was killed and Dave Carson wounded by a shot to the head. Dave, however, killed the rustler, and when he recovered he was handed the marshall's star and Billy's gun. The marshall of Dodge City had been killed by Billy the Kid's gun earlier in the week, and the town needed a marshall, so Dave accepted the job. - Marvel Database
