History:
(Justice#27 (fb)) - Growing up, Quinlan was always nervous around
girls, who always laughed at him. Virtually coerced into dating,
he took Angie Hufnagel to the school dance. Believing he was just
doing what was expected of him, he took her parking and tried to
make out with her. Angie pushed him away, but had to fight him
off, which she did, scratching his face. Infuriated, he drove his
car after her and ran her down. As he watched her die, he felt
feelings of ecstasy he had never felt before.
Knowing he'd found his calling, Quill ditched the body, left town, and never looked back.
(Justice#25) -
Employed by Judge Mental to slay Justice, Quill impersonated a Mr.
Harras to get his driver, then slew the driver, stuffed him in
the trunk, and took the car for his own. He staked out the
National Security Council (NSC) headquarters (by killing a man
and taking his apartment), but another paranormal, Creeping
Crud, stepped into the path of Quill's bullet and died in
Justice's stead. Justice located Quill and pursued him, but was
caught off guard when he proved immune to his attacks, and lost
Quill down a sewer.
(Justice#26) - Quill found an alligator in the sewers, somehow managed to get it to follow him, and then threw some sanitation workers down to it as he returned to the streets. After receiving some mental anguish from Judge Mental for his failure, Quill impersonated a member of the NSC in order to convince Angie Tensen (Justice's daughter) to come with him. Too late she figured out his deception and he punched out and tossed her in the trunk with the dead driver guy (now fairly ripe). Quill then sent a message to Justice, instructing him to surrender under his terms or he would get his daughter back a piece at a time.
(Justice#27) - While waiting to meet with Justice, Quill told Angie his origins. Taking an interest in her, he forced her to wear an identical dress to that of his first victim, and he then attempted to rape her. When her cries attracted hotel security (whom Quill killed), Angie fled, but he followed her to a nearby cemetery. Suddenly, Angie's paranormal powers surfaced, and she reanimated all of the corpses, causing them to dig their way out of their graves (or out of the trunk of his car) and attack Quill. The newly buried, headless, Creeping Crud was amongst the corpses that swarmed over Quill, who for the first time was not in control of the situation.
(Justice#28) - Angie went into a state of shock after her experiences, and the police found Quill's car packed with corpses. They identified Quill as the most recently deceased.
