Biography[]
Connection with Oyewah[]
In 1913, Manny appeared in the forests of the Northern Yukon Territory, interrupting the killing of Niles Caulder by a pack of wolves.
When Oyewah and Niles burned the bodies of the dead hunters, Oyewah summoned Manny in front of Niles for the first time, demonstrating their connection as he came to stand by her side.[1]
Connection with Dorothy Spinner[]
Sometime after Niles returned to the Bureau of Normalcy, Oyewah gave Manny to Dorothy to be her protector. Dorothy referred to him as the last piece that she had of her mother.[2]
Dorothy eventually made her way to the known world, coming to be featured in a circus of freaks. During shows, Manny would be whipped and teased, much to his anger. During one such event, he got particularly angry and lashed out, causing his captors to beat him down.[3]
After Dorothy came to live at Doom Manor, she became friends with Baby Doll. However things became sour when Baby Doll had poked Manny in the eye, causing Dorothy to become angry at her despite her attempts to apologize. Eventually Dorothy acted on her anger by tricking Baby Doll to play catch, where she then scarred her by jumping out of the fire furnace and made her trip to get back at her for Manny. Angered by this Baby Doll proceeded to angrily telekinetically lift Dorothy and throw her into the Fire Furnace, where Dorothy then attempted to threaten her to release her by telling "Papa". Causing Baby Doll to then impulsively threaten to burn her alive by opening the Furnace Valve. In a panic, Dorothy proceeds to subconsciously summon Manny to defend her, causing Baby Doll to call upon Katy to defend herself. Katy then proceeds to violently tackle and hug Manny and thereby lighting him on fire, eventually incinerating him to death. This eventually prompted Dorothy to become severely distraught and angry, and though the Candlemaker's influence, caused her to wish for Baby Doll to die and caused her to order the Candlemaker to attack and kill her in The Underground. During the attack by the Candlemaker in The Underground, Flaming Katy was also killed in the process.[4]
Dorothy, in grief and self disgust for her actions, proceeded to runaway from home, using the Explorer's space ship and go to the Moon, where she then built Manny a grave marker using moon rocks.[2]
