History
For many years, Michael Haggar was a famed champion wrestler of Slam Masters before being elected to the position of mayor of Metro City, which was plagued by the Mad Gear street gang. After refusing a bribe by them, the Mad Gear Gang kidnapped Haggar's daughter in order to force him to cooperate, but it backfired horrifically when Haggar chose to take matters into his own hands and fight through the gang's ranks to save her, with the help of aspiring ninja Guy and reckless vigilante Cody. Even while in office, Haggar will make sure that no crime will find a home in his city, even if he has to make them learn through his own form of justice.
