Frog-Man was one of the first Ani-Men, hand picked by the Organizer. The Ani-Men were soon sent against Daredevil by the Organizer, after he had crossed the Organizer's plans on several occasions. After implicating Daredevil in a bank robbery, the Ani-Men were next sent to kidnap Debbie Harris. He was defeated by the Daredevil, who stole his costume and impersonated him to infiltrate the Organizer's headquarters.
When the Ape-Man, Cat Man and Bird Man renamed themselves the Unholy Three, Frog Man left the group but returned when, as the Ani-Men again, they were employed by Count Nefaria. Given genuine super powers which replicated his earlier power suit but gave him a frog like appearance, Frog Man was with the Ani-Men when they fought the X-Men and were defeated by them. Later, still in Nefaria's service, he and the other Ani-Men fought Iron Man but were apparently killed when the assassin Spymaster blew up the building they were in.
