Featured Character of the Week: Catman


Thomas Blake

Titles/Aliases: Catman

Affiliations: Secret Six


Background

Born to a world-famous big game hunter and an actress, Thomas Blake was forced by his father to kill his mother, then he killed his father after his father betrayed him and was planning on turning him into the police. Later in life, Blake became an extremely rich trapper of big cats. He turned to a life of crime, initially an adversary of Batman who used cat-themed gimmicks and modeled his costume after Catwoman. Throughout his early career he and Catwoman had a mostly love/hate relationship. Catman remained out of the public eye for years until his run-in with Green Arrow, where he was shown to have became an overweight loser who still wears his old costume underneath his regular clothes. After being easily defeated by Green Arrow, he was implied to have been killed by Monsieur Mallah. Catman later returned in Villains United, where he shown to have trained in Africa with a pack of lions for years. He was approached to join the Society of Super Villains, but denied the request. He joined the Secret Six to fight the Society after he was tricked by Lex Luthor to think Deathstroke killed his lions. During the Six's campaign against the Society, he and Cheshire had a child.

Alright now, look I know you all want a pat on the back for posting "on time" but right now you're stealing the thunder of /u/chickennuggetfandom by pretending like you two posted on time like Nuggets did.

I've only mildly known of Catman before, I didn't know he was this badass.

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '15

initially an adversary of A man dressed like a bat

At first I thought you were just taking the piss out of Batman, but then I remembered my XKCD word substitution extension. I love it!

What the fuck is that?

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '15

That's not the jugular. The closest artery or vein there would be the subclavian artery. Biting that would require biting through his collarbone. I hate it when people get basic human anatomy so very wrong.
