Biography
Blane Whitney's childhood is largely unrevealed, though it is known that Blane's family history is full of patriotic, heroic soldiers. This included General Steve Whitney, who was George Washington's chief aide during the revolutionary war who also wore a disguise to fight evil for a brief period. When Blane was 14, he met President Woodrow Wilson, who told the young man to use his intelligence to help people.
