Batman Villains #2
A more colourful selection of rogues, including a couple of very obscure picks. From left:
Ratcatcher - Convicted felon Otis Flannegan retreated to the sewers after losing his job with the Gotham Sanitation Department on account of his violent past coming to light. Using an army of mutant rats under his control, the Ratcatcher oversaw campaigns of terror against the city's officials on numerous occasions.
Planet Master - Irving Norbert's latent weather control powers were activated by a passing meteorite. He was taken in by ARGUS, who taught him to control and ultimately hone these abilities by simulating the conditions of each planet in the solar system. Norbert's power was exploited by his handler Edward Burke for criminal gain, who later took on the Planet Master identity for himself and tried to replicate Norbert's powers through technological means.
Mr. Toxic - Corrupt industrialist Hugh Marder had two secrets: one, his weapons dealings with Intergang; and two, his metahuman ability to possess inanimate matter. During a violent falling out with his criminal associates, Marder's body was destroyed but not before he projected his consciousness into an experimental nerve gas. He since maintained some form of corporeal existence using a robotic containment suit, coming into further conflict with Gotham's branch of Intergang and drawing the attention of the Bat Family.
Cavalier - Mortimer Drake was an upper-class thief with delusions of grandeur whose crimes often took on a historical theme. He grew increasingly unstable over the years and was ultimately remanded to the Arkham Institute - where he found his soulmate in the like-minded villain Captain Stingaree.
Tiger Shark I - The first of two seafaring criminals to use the Tiger Shark name, Dr. Gaige employed nautical gadgetry to hold up yachts and cruise liners. He slipped into obscurity after his first defeat at the hands of Batman and Aquaman, though some of his inventions did make their way into early iterations of the Batboat.
Spellbinder - Delilah Billings was a commercial artist and industrial designer who accidentally created a "basilisk" - a type of pattern which can induce psychological effects in its viewer. Wearing a pair of goggles that rendered her immune to their effects, Billings developed an activation sequence and began to hide the basilisks in her work all over Gotham. Advertising, graffiti, and corporate symbolism all became part of her elaborate scheme to turn Gotham City into history's largest social experiment. She could also project basilisk patterns from nodes in her costume, which made her a formidable opponent for Batman in physical conflict.
KGBeast - Anatoli Knyazev was born mere days after the Soviet Union fell, though he was raised in isolation to believe the opposite. Trained by a neo-Soviet shadow government, KGBeast was sent to Gotham to carry out a series of assassinations. A series of violent confrontations with Batman broke him free of of his programming and cost him his left hand. He returned to Russia where he waged an internal war against his former masters on behalf of the actual government - engaging in international mercenary work during his spare time.
