I want ANY info on these goons. Pictures, origins, what they've done, who's alive or dead and so on. It's been driving me nuts for awhile that I don't know anything about most of these guys. If you could help me I'll put you on my buddy list.

P.S. I KNOW this sould be in the comics forum, but It looks like not a lot of people go there, and I really want info on these thugs.

I have some old Who's Who comics. I'll get back with you, cause I've seen all of these guys names before, and most of them are pretty lame.

Some of them I was just too exhausted to write up on. These are taken directly from Who's Who.


Cavalier. First Appearance: Detective Comics#81
A wealthy collector of curios, Mortimer Drake was a man of exotic and idiosyncratic tastes. When he found himself unable to add certain prized items to his private museum through any legal means, Drake adopted the guise of a modern-day Musketeer and calling himself the Cavalier, embarked upon a crime spree that ultimately brought him into conflict with Batman and Robin.
Several times over the next few months, the Cavalier matched wits with the Dynamic Duo, eluding capture each time, until the Batman finally deduced his true identity and captured him.
Though the Cavalier has escaped prison a number of times over the ensuing years and returned to his life of crime, he has always been recaptured by some member of the Batman family, and returned to a federal penitentiary to serve out the rest of his sentence.

Professor Milo. First Appearance: Detective Comics#247

The Calendar Man. First Appearance: Detective Comics#259
In the guise of Maharajah the Magician, Julian day arrived in Gotham City for a five-day engagement, which was actually a front for the series of crimes he intended to commit as the Calendar Man.
Basing his crimes on the five different seasons – winter, spring, summer, autumn, and the Indian monsoon (or rainy season) – the Calendar Man wore a different uniquely equipped uniform for each crime, publicly challenging the Batman to catch him before he could finish his crime spree. Unfortunately for Day, the Caped Crusader was more than equal to the task.
Several years later, after escaping from prison, the Calendar Man returned to Gotham, this time basing his crimes upon the days of the week. Once again, the Batman caught him, and Day is currently serving time in Gotham State Prison.

Dr. Double X. Detective Comics #261

Cat-Man. First Appearance: Detective Comics #311
Once a world-famous trapper of wild cats, Tom Blake retired from the game when he found it held no more challenge for him. Equally bored in retirement, Blake was in conversation with Bruce Wayne one afternoon when a fellow member of their club jokingly suggested that both should emulate the Caped Crusader and become crime fighters.
A compulsive gambler who had already wagered away most of his savings, Blake was intrigued by the possibilities. But realizing he could never compete with the Batman, Blake decided instead to challenge the Darkknight Detective by becoming his adversary, thereby reviving the thrill of the hunt, as well as giving Blake a chance to recoup his lost fortune.
Since the big cats of the jungle were his field of expertise, Blake took his inspiration from the then-retired Catwoman to become the King of Cats… the Cat-Man!
From ancient cloth that was once wrapped around a carved cat fetish he had acquired in Africa, Blake sewed together a colorful costume, since legend claimed the cloth possessed mystic powers that would protect its wearer from harm, granting him the nine lives of a cat. Then, having designed an arsenal of cat-inspired weaponry, the Cat-Man embarked upon a life of crime.

Dr. Tzin-Tzin. First Appearance: Detective Comics#354

Firebug. First Appearance: Batman#318

Black Spider. First Appearance: Detective Comics#463
A drug addict youth, Eric Needham turned to crime to support his habit. After several years of petty theft and muggings, Needham attempted robbery, breaking into a liquor store and inadvertently killing a man, who turned out to be Needham’s own father.
Going somewhat mad with remorse, Needham kicked his drug habit and sought vengeance against drug dealers everywhere. Learning of Needham’s obsession, a mysterious source supplied Needham with extensive training, a colorful costume, and sophisticated weaponry. Since he intended to prey on criminal “super-flies” Needham took the name Black Spider.
Ironically, it was ultimately revealed that the source of Black Spider’s costume and equipment was one Hannibal Hardwicke, secretly the drug king of Gotham City, who was using Needham’s obsession to help eliminate Hardwicke’s criminal rivals.
