Dollar Bill - Watchmen (1986)

A former member of the Minutemen, Dollar Bill - aka William Brady - joined the costumed adventures after his employees at the First National Bank contacted Larry Schexnayder, recommending him for the team. He took part in a number of their events, including their Christmas Party and their professional photo shoot, where he earned the respect of Hollis Mason; Mason seeing him as one of the "nicest men" he had ever known.

In 1946, just weeks after the death of The Silhouette, Dollar Bill was shot and killed at point-blank range after his cape got stuck in the revolving door whilst trying to prevent a robbery from happening.

His death impacted heavily on his former teammates, in particular, Nite Owl and Mothman, with the latter consoling himself with even more alcohol than usual.
