History
David Dinkins, Mayor of New York City, disliked his work as he had to deal with Fred Greenburg's comic book conventions, and he was worried at being mocked at the mayor's get-together (especially because Ivana Trump had became Mayor of New Jersey). When his city was attacked by the giant monster called Big Apple Beast, he asked his staff for advice, and his secretary Roberts suggested asking local superhero Manhattan Bob for help (Dinkins himself ensuring the collaboration of Bob's sidekick Borough Boy), even if Police Chief O'Malley considered that sending up the Bob Signal was an electricity cost beyond the city's budget.[1]
However, the heroes were soundly defeated and hospitalized, which Roberts and O'Malley reported to Dinkins while he was playing mini-golf. Roberts and O'Malley suggested calling *other* superheroes, but Dinkins decided instead to call the Dinosaurs for Hire - and assume that several structures would need to be re-built.[1] He personally hired them, then leaving to appear in Woody Allen's movie She's My Wife, She's My Daughter for a cameo. The dinosaurs defeated the beast.[2]Attributes
Abilities
Dinkins frequently practice his shooting skill by trying to shoot an apple off the head of Police Chief O'Malley in his own office, but his aim was sub-par and he hit other items (including several TV sets, which affected the city budget), and which point he was supposed to give O'Malley a cost-of-living increase in his pay for every failed session.[1]
Dinkins was also known to play mini-golf[1] and tennis.[2]
