(#12) He Was Resurrected (By Mistake)
D-Man remained dead for a number of years, but nobody in the comic book world stays dead for long. Quite appropriately, D-Man was brought back to life in a comedic, barely-canon parody comic entitled Secret Wars Too that accompanied the more serious Secret Wars.
In this one-shot tale, a young, would-be sorcerer attempts to summon a demon, but his inexperience leads to him accidentally resurrecting D-Man. Dennis Dunphy is quite pleased with his second lease on life, and proceeds to have his best day ever, which includes eating a ridiculous number of pies. Sadly, the Marvel universe ends up being destroyed right as D-Man’s perfect day is ending, coinciding with the earliest events in Secret Wars.
(#5) He Soon Became An Ally Of Captain America
Captain America originally brought D-Man in as an ally to take on the Power Broker, but Dennis Dunphy soon proved himself as a capable and trustworthy colleague. D-Man went on many adventures with Cap and the Falcon, including a rematch with the Power Broker that ended in D-Man suffering a heart attack.
He spent his recovery time operating a special hotline for Captain America, but soon returned to the field to help battle foes like the Serpent Society and the Horsemen of Apocalypse. A beating at the hands of Titania cost D-Man his confidence, something he would struggle with for years.
(#8) He Joined The US Army In Iraq
Upon returning from near-death (and some time living in an Inuit village), it would have been understandable if D-Man decided to retire from the superhero game. Instead, Dennis Dunphy wanted to prove himself an even real-er hero by joining the United States Armed Forces and doing a tour in Iraq.
Instead of flaunting his superpowers, Dunphy joined the Army on the down-low, keeping his secret identity hidden from all but a few of his troopmates. Of course, Dunphy still found plenty of reason to get into his D-Man outfit and dispense justice on the sly while in Iraq.
(#7) He Bravely Sacrificed Himself, But Survived By Living With A Inuit Tribe
Not too long after joining the Avengers, D-Man proved himself to be a true hero by making (what seemed like) the ultimate sacrifice. Dennis Dunphy, with his confidence still low, elected to stay on the Quinjet during a mission at the base of evil organization U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M., but was called into action when Captain America discovered the base was about to send out a worldwide electromagnetic pulse.
D-Man leapt into the fray and flew the Quinjet into the base, stopping the pulse, but was seen sinking into the Arctic Ocean with the Quinjet afterward. He was presumed dead. Fortunately, D-Man was able to survive. He was recovered by a group of Inuit people, who nursed him back to health.
(#3) He Helped The Thing Take Down A Corrupt Wrestling League
Dennis Dunphy had a set of superpowers and a sweet wrestling gig in the UCWF from the Power Broker, but all that gain came with a catch. The villainous Power Broker gave out powers through ability-enhancing pills, which left the user addicted and at the Power Broker’s mercy.
He used this to coerce the wrestlers into moonlighting as supervillains, and several of his wrestlers suffered brain damage as a result of the pills. When the Thing and Sharon Ventura, the future She-Thing, uncovered this dastardly plot, the Power Broker ordered Dunphy and other wrestlers to take them out. Dunphy’s heroic streak showed itself when he turned on the Broker and took a stand with ol’ Ben Grimm, taking down the corrupt UCWF.
(#10) He Joined The Revengers, An Anti-Avengers Group
While still struggling with his mental health, D-Man was convinced to join The Revengers, a group of anti-Avengers individuals formed by Power Man to shut down the Avengers for good. The group contended the Avengers did more harm than good (which seems like a poor argument given the planet would have been destroyed multiple times without them, but whatever), and tried to battle Earth’s Mightiest Heroes head on. D-Man and the rest of the Revengers initially beat the real Avengers, but got summarily whooped in the rematch, leaving Dennis Dunphy behind bars.

The second type of D man, wearing loincloths, usually appears in The “underpass” to ensure a safe ascent to The Overthere.
The random tool generated 14 items, documenting heroic events at different points in time in D-man. He Gained His Powers In The Hopes Of Starting a Football Career, Dennis Dunphy Started Out In The Super-Powered Wrestling League and helped The Thing Take Down a Corrupt Wrestling League.
