Strack.

Louis Strack, Jr. was a real estate developer and the president of Strack Industries who sought to replace the "bad" waterfront section of town with a futuristic industrial park, which he called the City of the Future. He killed both his own wife for "certain deeds" and his own father to gain control of Strack Industries.

He was secretly paying off city zoning officials, and even had in his employ notorious mobster Robert G. Durant, who he sent to run other criminals and "scum" out of that part of town so his construction crews could work without interferance.

When Strack's lawyer Julie Hastings discovered a document linking him to the payoffs, Strack sent his heartless minions, led by Durant, to retrieve it from the laboratory of Julie's fiance Dr. Peyton Westlake, while at the same time pleading innocence to Julie herself. After Westlake's apparent death, Strack attempted to woo Julie in her fiance's absence. Soon though, Westlake, having been turned into the vigilante Darkman, began to seek revenge against Strack.

Strack learned that Westlake and Darkman were one and the same, and sent Durant and his gang to follow Julie to Darkman's hideout. He kidnapped Julie and held her hostage atop the tallest of the uncompleted skyscrapers in the City of the Future's construction site. Here, after exposing Darkman's disguise as the late Durant, Strack clashed with Darkman in a battle that ultimately found Strack being held over the side of the building by the scarred vigilante. Initially Strack attempted to goad Darkman into killing him. When Darkman did not, Strack taunted Darkman for being a coward. Darkman responded to this by finally releasing Strack's ankle, dropping the villain to his death.
