Profile written by Jim 'Zilch' Doty
Overview
The first of two young Chinese youths who served as sidekicks to the Vigilante. The first Stuff, who favoured a more Westernised approach to dress and culture than his successor, was murdered by gangster Bugsy Siegel.
History
Young Jimmy Leong was taken under the wing of Greg Sanders, The Vigilante, after helping him with a case in New York's Chinatown. Sanders raised the boy, as he was taught judo and aikido by the proficient youngster. The two later joined The Seven Solders of Victory, where Stuff found another role model in Wing, another Chinese youth.
As Jimmy entered into adulthood, he fell in love with a young woman who made ends meet by posing in adult movies, and Jimmy went to her aid, only to be killed by Bugsy Siegel, a West Coast gangster. The Vigilante later exacted revenge at great personal cost. While recuperating, Jimmy's younger brother, Victor, came under the care of Greg Sanders and later became the second Stuff.
Powers and Weapons
Neither Stuff possessed any super-human abilities, but both were proficient in several martial arts, including Judo and aikido, as well as several kung-fu techniques.
