History:
Young Bill Polk was the son of a sheepherder in the Old West, during a time when cattle ranchers and sheep ranchers were fighting an undeclared war. When Bill's father was murdered, everyone assumed the deed had been doen by the elder Polk's cattle-ranching rival, Mallon. But Bill Polk discovered evidence that Mallon was innocent and set out in search of the true killer, a man known only as Claggett.

Bill Polk's quest took him to a ranch in Texas, where he honed his skills and joined a rodeo. When he grew bored with the rodeo circuit, he joined the army as a scout, then took up prospecting. When bandits bushwhacked him and stole his gold, he tracked them down and captured all three. Polk turned in the three bandits and was offered a job as deputy sheriff. He turned it down, saying he preferred to travel, but not revealing his search for Claggett.

When Polk traveled, acting as a freelance deputy to sheriffs all over the west, he apparently did not give his real name. People called him the Wyoming Kid, but a number also knew him as Johnny Jones. Polk took the job as sheriff of Saddlehorn for a brief time, but when he resigned to once again pursue the murderer of his father, a grateful railroad magnate name Randolph Hughes deposited money in banks around the west so that the Kid would always have funds to draw upon.

It is not known whether the Kid ever caught up with Claggett, nor is his final fate known.

Powers:
The Wyoming Kid relied on his pair of six-guns when dealing with bandits. He was an excellent scout and tracker, as well as a fine horseman who rode his steed Racer in his many adventures. The Kid was also a good hand-to-hand combatant.
