Karl Vasko and his wife Maria Vasko immigrated to the United States. Eventually they had two daughters.
The eldest daughter - Jane Vasko - became a police officer. Eventually an undercover case ended up with her being subjected to a cocktail of bad drugs. This almost killed her, and left her in a coma for over a year. While Jane was in a coma, both of her parents dies.
After Jane woke, up, the death of her parents was a large part of what inspired her to become the vigilante "Painkiller Jane."
