Powers: Page could generate fireballs composed of radioactive cobalt energy. He also used a scimitar and bola, which he coated with the same energy. He rode a horse, which he used his energy to mutate, causing its flesh to be transparent, and only its skeleton was visible. He was insane. Daredevil claimed he had the strength of a dozen men, but whether this means he's got enhanced human strength, or just the strength of a frenzied madman was not made clear.

History: BTS - Paxton Page was once a research scientist who succeeded in perfecting the Cobalt Bomb. However, he refused to sell or share his results with the United States government, or anyone else, even under pain of contempt of Congress. Page was branded a traitor, resigned his post, and retired to his estate in Vermont.
Continuing to work in shame, he became more and more reclusive, and his long-term exposure to the cobalt radiation drove him crazy and gave him superhuman powers. Wishing to work in his old house without disturbance, he took the identity of Death's Head. He then faked his own kidnapping, and left a note demanding that his wife leave the Page house and tell no one of her husband's disappearance, under threat that her husband would die.

(Daredevil I#56-57) - Mrs. Page contacted her daughter, Karen, who returned home. As she approached her house, Death's Head approached her and threatened her life if she did not leave. Nonetheless, he left her and she learned part of what had been happening from her mom. Meanwhile, Daredevil, who had faked the death of his alter ego and wanted to explain the truth to Karen, followed her to the Page House. He, too, received a warning from Death's Head to stay away, and similarly ignored it. After talking to Karen, Daredevil went to search for evidence of Paxton Page, and was attacked by Death's Head, who succeeded in knocking him out. Mrs. Page saw the fight and called the police, but Death's Head dressed the unconscious Daredevil in a duplicate of his costume, put him on his skeletal horse, and sent him charging at the police, who opened fire on him. Fortunately, the police were startled enough that they couldn't aim properly, and Daredevil revived, freed himself, and revealed the deception.

Karen Page followed their butler Garth, to the old mill below the bridge where she had first encountered Death's Head. Garth saw her and shot a stick out of her hand (she was gonna coldcock him!), but then Daredevil swung down and knocked Garth aside. Death's Head suddenly appeared and attacked them. As they fought, Daredevil revealed that he knew Death's Head was really Paxton Page. This caused him to attempt to throw DD into a vat of molten cobalt, yelling "There is no Paxton Page--not any more! I killed him!" Daredevil dodged the vat, but Death's Head caused it to tip over to spill all over DD. When Death's Head saw that Karen was in the line of the molten cobalt, he remembered that for some reason he didn't want her to die, and he leapt down, pushing both Karen and Daredevil to safety. The molten Cobalt landed all over Page, apparently killing him.

Penelope Page was Paxton's wife and Karen's mother. Not a whole lot was said about her, but she's wealthy and presumably either retired or never employed. I think her only other appearance is at Karen's funeral, but I may be wrong.

Garth, was actually a US government agent. They knew Page was experimenting again, and Garth was sent to protect Page from his real enemies. And so he did--from all but himself! (Man that's deep!)
