Denny was part of Princess Perdita's security detail on the night of September 29,[2][3] when she arrived at Star City International Airport. As he brought her down the escalator into the terminal, assassins struck, shooting Denny in the shoulder. Denny attempted to get Perdita back up but he was shot again, taking him down.[4]
2016[]
In late June,[5] Denny guarded Perdita as she attended Wally West's funeral.[6]
Denny escorted Perdita when she and Gar attended the Harvest Festival at the Meta-Human Youth Center with Ed and the Team. During the festivities, everyone was overcome by nausea, and "Count Vertigo" and "Henchy" (who were really Psimon and Devastation) appeared. "Henchy" kicked Denny aside before they took Perdita in a small helicopter. The Team subsequently rescued her.[9]
Denny was with Perdita as they flew in for an economic conference. He understood her dislike of Star City International Airport. He worked with Bowhunter Security, and discussed Perdita's schedule with Will Harper en route to their first stop, STAR Labs. At STAR, they soon came under attack by armored assailants, who hit Denny with a poisoned dart and kidnapped Perdita.[3]
Denny was taken to Royal Memorial Hospital with the other poisoning victims. Artemis was sure they had been dosed with Sportsmaster's coma serum, which would take days to wear off even with the antidote.[4]
