Angelo Bend, alias Angle Man was an Italian master thief who used his special Angler to escape authorities as Angle Man. He had a past as an enemy of Wonder Woman, and also fought The Flash on at least one occasion. His reality-warping Angler was absorbed by the Flash's nemesis Replicant, forcing him to resort to inferior, non-powered gimmicks to get him by for much of his criminal career. He was caught by Donna Troy while trying to steal an ancient artifact from a museum. Even though Donna, as Troia, was trying to stop the villain, Angle Man formed a bit of a crush on the Amazon. He became so enamored with her that he instinctively transported himself to Themyscira seeking Donna's help when he was attacked by a Fury-possessed Barbara Minerva. Later it was learned that he had been hired by Barbara, the previous Cheetah, who had lost her powers to Sebastian Ballesteros and needed the stolen artifacts to regain them. He was also seen grieving at Donna Troy's funeral after she was briefly killed by a Superman robot, and most recently has become a member of the latest Secret Society of Super-Villains. Whether he and the Cheetah have buried the hatchet or not remains to be seen.
