History:
Anthony Druid got his medical degree from Harvard, then went on to study psychiatry. He retired from his psychiatric practice after several years to devote more time to his growing interest in the occult. He supported himself by writing popular books on psychology and related matters and by lecturing. In the midst of his research for a second book on the occult, Druid was summoned by an ailing Tibetan lama apparently in need of medical aid. The lama put Druid through a series of bizarre mystic and spiritual tests to ascertain Druid’s worthiness. Finding him worthy, the dying lama opened Druid’s mind to its hidden powers and taught him the mastery of certain mystic arts. He has thus become a practitioner of the occult arts.
Druid has been in seclusion for several years, but recently came to the aid of the Avengers. He has since decided to remain with the group as a probationary member.
