Percy and Barton Grimes were "adult" film theatre owners living in Los Angeles. They acquired a run-down theater where the original Brothers Grimm had confronted Spider-Woman. Discovering the full-sized mannequins of the Brothers Grimm, Percy and Barton Grimes felt compelled to try on the Brother Grimm costumes. In doing so, they discovered they possessed the same powers of prestidigitation as the original Brothers Grimm mannequins. They used these powers to take revenge on a business rival, and were opposed by Iron Man. Percy and Barton Grimes were taken into police custody for their crimes.
