History
Early years[]
On 1200 BC, Bartholomew J. Troll tricked the sorceress Circe into transforming into a sheep in order to steal her necklace.[1] Around the year 1005 AD, Troll decided to start The Wheel, a cult, to make money in Madagascar, Africa. It earned him his first million before he was old enough to shave.[2] As a teenager, Troll was banned from the Isle of Paradise for pissing in the lake. At some point, Troll stole candy from a vampire baby and battled Dracula.[3]
During the American Revolutionary War, Troll's presence became known to the American Government and he became a trusted advisor to Ben Franklin and many successive American Presidents.[4] Somewhere between 1881 and 1888, Troll worked for P.T. Branum's circus as part of the Amazing Zamboni Brothers trapeze act.[3] In November 1888, Troll lived in London. There, he teamed up with a time displaced Julia Winters and The Maxx to battle Mr. Gone, who was comiting the Jack the Ripper murders.[5] In 1894, Troll stole some gold from some Leprechauns, stripping them of their powers.[6]
In June, 1944, Troll worked as a groundskeeper at a ball park in Florida. When the owner, Jim Jeffries, left to fight in the war, Troll became the coach of a woman's baseball league. They became successful enough to go to New York, where Troll was contacted by president Franklin Roosevelt, who forcefully pulled him away from the series to stop Hitler's right-hand man, Otto Weicker, from developing an atomic warhead. Troll destroyed Otto's facility in Northeim, earning him a parade and his face carved on Mount Rushmore. However, Otto reappeared and destroyed the carving before being stopped for good.[7] That year, Troll became a major and fought for the Allied forces alongside The Jack, a British commando he hand-trained. They helped the Allies in Paris, but something The Jack did embarrassed Troll in front of Glory. Later, Churchill asked the duo to retrieve a secret weapon cooked up by Nazi Franz Volger in Berlin. Troll and The Jack destroyed Volger's Ubernaut Project..[8]
Youngblood[]
In 1992, Troll stole an Orb of Power from Glory's home, the Island of Amazonia. A week later, he grabbed another one in Antartica by evading a squad of Katellans and a Daemonite called Evangeliste. Troll delivered the Orbs to Jeweler, his client.[3] That November, following Bill Clinton's winning of the presidential election, Alexander Graves decided to change up Youngblood,[4] and his first act was to recruit Troll to the team.[3]Attributes

- Superhuman Strength: Despite his size Troll displays high levels of physical strength being able to draw blood from the likes of Vanguard.
- Superhuman Agility: Troll is able to perform rapid and precise acrobatics impossible for a human being, so it is not unusual to see him leap from one enemy to another on the battlefield.
