Bandit first appeared on this day in 1993!

The troublesome character who first appeared as “Bandit” proved to be a thorn in Dwayne Taylor better known as the original Night Thrasher. It was unclear at first, what Bandit’s issue with Night Thrasher was – as Bandit learned that Dwayne had dated Silhouette Chord and Bandit immediately attempted to seduce Dwayne’s estranged girlfriend. Whatever his issue was with Dwayne, it was clearly a very personal issue.

While Bandit would go on to provoke Dwayne Taylor (even as Night Thrasher) for quite some time – once Dwayne learned the truth about who Bandit was and why he had such a strong dislike for Dwayne – the two were able to become more amicable towards one another. Bandit would even go on to “join” the New Warriors for a brief time to help them out; and when Dwayne was believed to be killed in the Stamford explosion, Bandit even took up the guise as the second Night Thrasher.

As always, a special thanks to Corey over at New Warriors Continuity Conundrum, for remembering all these dates. Definitely check out his site. You can check out the Bandit/Night Thrasher II profile there as well.
