Mary Grayson was a member of the acrobatic trapeze group the Flying Graysons along with her husband John and son Dick. They toured the country performing for the Haley's Circus.

Crime boss Anthony Zucco attempted to blackmail Mister Haley for a substantial sum of money. When Haley refused to kowtow to the gangster's demands, Zucco had his men treat the trapeze ropes with corrosive acid. During a nighttime performance, the Flying Graysons were performing their act when the trapeze ropes snapped. Mary and John fell to their deaths, leaving their young son Dick an orphan. Dick was later taken in by millionaire Bruce Wayne, aka the Batman, and he soon became the caped Boy Wonder known as Robin.[2]
