Two Face


Harvey Kent a.k.a Harvey Dent was a friend of Batman. But one day he accused Sal Maroni, a crime lord, for murder. It was proved that he did it when Maroni's "lucky" two headed coin was found on the crime scene with Maroni's fingerprint on it. In rage Maroni threw Sulfuric acid at the left half of Harvey's face, scaring it. His horrible look caused him to go insane and scar one face on his coin. He flipped it to chose between a life of crime or good doing. Sadly, a life of crime won.
So he decided to decide everything on the flip of a coin. Thus one of the strangest and unpredicable ciminals, now calling himslef Two-Face was born.

Top 5 Infamous Batman Foes

You all know the Joker and the Penguin. But some of Batman's foes, like Zebra Man, one has ever heard of! So I plan on telling you about Batman's top 5 infamous foes.
5. Ten eyed Man
Philip Reardon was a warehouse guard. But one night a group of thieves knocked him out and planted a bomb. Batman came to stop them. Phillip (now awake) mistaked Batman for one of them and battled him. The bomb when off and blinded Philip. Dr. Engstrom (a eye doctor) reconnected his optic nerves to the end of his fingers (allowing him to see through them and giving him 360° vision). He blamed Batman for what happened and decided to get his revenge on him as the Ten Eyed Man.
4.Zebra Man I
Jake Baker was a high-tech scientist, who machinery gave him Black and white strips (made more visible by a glowing aura) and the power to magnetize anything. He went on a crime spree,before Batman and Robin defeated him.
3. Crazy Quilt
He was a painter for no appertain reason was a thief. When he was double crossed by his own lackeys, he was blinded by a gunshot wound during his arrest. In a volunteered procedure, a helmet was fused to his head, this caused him to see again,but he saw color blindingly vivid and disorienting. Now his helmet act as his eyes and can hypnotize people and project lethal lasers and blinding lights. During his life of crime he has run into Batman.
2.Spellbinder (Berbert Billings)
He was a pop art forger, that decided to be a criminal. So he built illusion-creating and hypnotic weapons and hired henchmen. Despite his luck in his first 2 robberies, he got busted by Batman.
1. The Terrible Trio
Three bored rich inventors wanted not to be bored, so they became Fox, Shark and Vulture (named after the cartoon animal mask they wore with their suits): the Terrible Trio. Their most recurring foe is Batman and Robin.

Using his Cosmic Skies and Cosmic Armor that grants air in the vacuum of space, super strength, and super endurance tried to escape him several times, but fails. He finally escape only to be trapped in a L.E.G.I.O.N jail by the idiot Green Lantern G'nort, causing them to be archenemies.

After being defeated, G'nort stops him from killing himself. G'nort tried to fix the Skier's skies, but only causing them to exploded.
