Batman Villains #6

King Snake - Edmund Dorrance was an SAS operative working covert destabilization ops with the CIA in South America. In the island nation of Santa Prisca (whose government had been poised to fall), Dorrance fathered a child with a local rebel, but they went missing soon after the operation was blown. Dorrance escaped Santa Prisca and went into hiding with a group of drug-running mercenaries tied to the terroristic KOBRA cult, rising through their ranks and eventually seizing power for himself. Unbeknownst to him, Dorrance's partner and child survived in the notorious Santa Priscan prison known as The Pit, the child growing up to be the warlord Bane.

 

Doctor Aesop - This villain's surreal crime wave kicked off with the death of a transport executive who had failed to outrun a subway train with a heavy iron "shell" tied to his back. Each victim was linked in some way to the Gotham Transit Authority, and Batman unmasked Doctor Aesop as a man whose family had perished in a subway crash several years prior. His fable-themed crimes sought to teach moral lessons to those who had escaped punishment for their negligence.

 

Tally Man I - Raised in Gotham's impoverished Narrows, the child who became the Tally Man used a fireplace poker to kill the loan shark who'd been hounding his family. As an adult, he returned to Gotham as the Tally Man, a ruthless hired gun and a contortionist to rival only Central City's Ragdoll.

 

Two-Face - Harvey Dent was Gotham City's District Attorney and an early proponent of The Batman. He was a key player in prosecuting the Falcone and Maroni crime families following a year of bloody gang violence, and Dent nearly paid for this with his life. Scarred in a courtroom acid attack, Dent completely broke down and his split personality emerged. Harvey's "bad side" struck out at the remaining elements of Gotham's original mob scene, waging a bloody war that ended traditional organized crime in the city for good and heralding in the new era of costumed supervillains.

 

Ten-Eyed Man - The Ten-Eyed Man has claimed to be many things. None of these have ever been verified, and many of his records have mysteriously disappeared. His eyes can manifest anywhere they shouldn't be, although he seems to prefer them at the ends of his fingers. Just like his records, the Ten-Eyed Man has a tendency to vanish.

 

Maxie Zeus - Maximilian Zeus was a shipping magnate who believed himself to be the Greek god reincarnate. Gotham City was his "New Olympus", and in an attempt to seize power he used his shipping network to hijack a secret weather control programme developed by the DoD's Dr. Clyde Mardon. When this plan failed and he served a period of time in Arkham Asylum, Maxie recruited a group of naive young metahumans to form his "New Olympians" and attack the Olympic Games in Markovia. The Justice League had been prohibited from operating in the country at the time, so Batman activated the Outsiders programme to stop Maxie once more.
