Story: When Bill was 12 he joined the League of Infinity [2]. He was in on a lot of missions including helping Supreme against Darius Dax [1].

In 1871 he became marshal of Abilene. While being a marshal, he met the southern belle Jesse Hazel, which he became infatuated with. Unfortunately he had a rival. The rival was killed in a fight after a card game in 1873. Having killed his rival did not get him Jesse Hazel. She spurned all his advances calling him a damn Yankee who had helped humiliating her people in the recent, bitter war. In the following four years he courted her growing more desperate and unbalanced until the day in 1877 he got the idea that he would prove to Jesse Hazel that he loved the south as much as her by letting the south win the civil war. He went up to 1977 and got some documents that would give the south an advantage in the war and then went back to 1863 to give the documents to general Lee. The plans included how to build a nuclear bomb, which was going to be detonated in Washington, letting the confederate army win. The explosion ruined the Infinity League's tower and the future forcing the League to kill Hickok in 1876 before he changed the future. Zayla Zarn, disguised as Jesse Hazel, went into the saloon where Hickok was sitting. In the moment when Hickok was distracted by the sight of the woman he loved, he was shot down by Achilles, returning the future to normal [2].
