Line 5:
In [[Robot universe#1935|1935]], Cretzer was considered public enemy no. 5 by the FBI. He was eventually incarcerated in Alcatraz, where his prisoner number was 548.
 
In [[Robot universe#1946|1946]], Cretzer led a mutiny against the guards alongside [[Coy]], [[Thompson]], and [[Carnes]]. Objectives of their escape plan included freeing [[Hubbard]] and [[Shockley]] from their cells, as well as bargaining hostages for their freedom – though the two warders they had hostage wherewere killed in the struggle.
 
The prison authorities called in troops as reinforcements for the siege, with [[James A. Johnston|a warden]] telling them to blow up the whole wing of the prison if necessary. After three days of being holed up, the mutineers' bolthole was breached by the troops. Cretzer refused the opportunity to drop his gun, and was shot and killed by a warder. {{storylink|The Truth About Alcatraz!}}
