History
The Circus of Crime was first led by Maynard Tiboldt. It was called Tiboldt's Circus at first since it was managed by generations of the Tiboldt family. During the 1930's, Fritz Tiboldt, who was a Nazi party activist, sent his circus from Germany to America supposedly to give performances. Fritz Tiboldt, who was also known as the ringmaster of death, as well as the rest of their circus, was captured by captain america as they attempted to assasinate several important government figures.
Soon after the death of Fritz and his wife Lola, their son Maynard Tiboldt took the mantle of Ringmaster. With a general decline of income as well as his hatred for americans, he turned to crime. He decided that if they did not want to pay him, he will make them pay. Several members of the circus quit as they did not want to turn to a life of crime but a surprising huge remainder stayed and agreed to the plans.
The Ringmaster would always use a hidden mind control device implanted in his hat that would set them in a trance as the rest of them robbed them of their valuables. The circus of crime have been arrested many of times but for short periods since it was difficult to pin anything on them since their victims would remember nothing.
