When he was still a baby, the caravan in which Robert's family was traveling was attacked by a group of Indians. There were only two survivors: little Robert and the one who would become his adoptive father, Lloyd Vale. Years later, when Robert had barely reached adulthood, Lloyd was also murdered at the hands of outlaws, leading to Bob becoming the vigilante Black Diamond.
Armed with a pair of six-guns, Black Diamond battled evil in Junction City, leaving behind a diamond suit card. He had a partner, a circus strongman called Stathis "Bumper" Bumpinovich and an extremely intelligent horse named Colt. Bob Vale eventually became an official US Marshal. One of his descendants, Jack Vale, would become one of the Crime Smashers' founding members, as the second Black Diamond.
