Biography

Anthony Lupus was a former Olympic Decathlon champion who suffers from severe headaches until he met Professor Achilles Milo who used a drug to treat them. However, the treatment also turns Lupus into a werewolf. Milo discovered that Lupus suffers from lycanthropy which was the source of Anthony's headaches. With a serum derived from the Alaskan timber wolf, Milo sent Anthony's condition into overdrive transforming him into a full werewolf with the full moon even as Milo claimed that he could cure advanced lycanthropy. In his first outing, Anthony Lupus' werewolf form entered the apartment of a woman and killed her pet dog. Before the Werewolf could kill the woman, Batman arrived and rescued her. After the scuffle, the werewolf reunited with Professor Milo and regressed back to Anthony Lupus when dawn rose whereupon Lupus claimed that the transformations were getting worse. Milo though said that for Lupus to get the cure he needed to kill Batman. To facilitate the murder plot, Lupus puts out a charity donation that he wanted Batman to deliver. When Batman arrived at Lupus' house, he was tricked into a locked room where knockout gas was pumped into it. When Milo had Batman chained in an abandoned lot, he wanted Anthony to finish the job if he wanted the cure. When Anthony stated that he will lose control of this transformation, Milo did not care. Upon Anthony transforming into the Werewolf, he attacked Milo first where the cure was destroyed during the attack. Upon breaking free as a storm begins, Batman fought the Werewolf several stories above the ground and manages to impale the Werewolf with a metallic rod. Just then, a lightning bolt strikes the metallic rod that impaled the Werewolf. This caused the Werewolf's burning body to fall to the ground. When Batman made it to the ground where the Werewolf landed, all he found was a charred metallic rod. Not long after this, there was news in Alaska about a man hunting wolves and a beast leading a wolf pack that was starting to spread in the Alaskan wilderness. (Batman v1 #255)
