A close friend of the (second) [[The Flash|Flash]] in whose series he appeared often. He got his own series in the backpages of ''Detective Comics'', lasting from issue #327 to #383 (May, 1964-January, 1969) with several new stories appearing in the same magazine during the [[The Seventies|1970s]], though at irregular intervals. The series formula was to have Ralph and Sue traveling the globe, investigating crimes along the way. Don Markstein, a comic book historian, described them as a superhero version of [[The Thin Man (film)|Nick and Nora Charles]].
 
Ralph also joined the [[Justice League]] in [[The Seventies|1970s]]. Along with Sue he was an important part of the [[Justice League International|League's more comedic period]]. Sadly, he's remembered today more for the fact that his wife was both raped AND''and'' murdered in ''[[Identity Crisis]]''. He died shortly afterwards in ''[[52]]'' while trying to find a way to resurrect her (at least he brought down an evil sorcerer and a major demon in the process). {{spoiler|Sadly, the demon escaped later, despite the trap seemingly being absolutely inescapable}}. He has reappeared as a ghost since.
 
Currently{{when}} appearing in ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold]]'', where he spends his time lamenting [[Plastic Man]]'s fame.
