The Duct Tape Avenger is the alter ego of Brendan Dillon, a college student at North Carolina State University and member of the Army National Guard. In fall of 2001, Brendan was touring the Duck® Brand duct tape factory in Hickory, NC, when an industrial accident caused him to fall into a vat of adhesive material. He recovered, but soon found that his genetic makeup had been altered as a result of the incident. He was, indeed, the man of duct tape.

His first public appearance as the Duct Tape Avenger was on Halloween, October 31, 2001.

The Avenger has a sidekick, Sticky Girl, who is the alter ego of Brendan's goddaughter, Emily Jane.
