Biography
Swagman
Swagman was recruited by the Black Glove and became a member of the Club of Villains, under the leadership of Doctor Simon Hurt. (Batman v1 #676) Swagman took part in Doctor Hurt's plan to drive Batman over the edge of his sanity. As part of the elaborate scheme, Doctor Hurt, who is well aware that Batman is Bruce Wayne, sends a wealthy criminal named Jezebel Jet to pose as a love interest for Bruce Wayne to weaken his mental state. The plan ultimately worked and the Black Glove discovered the location of the Batcave. (Batman v1 #677) The Batcave is compromised by members of the Club of Villains and Bruce Wayne has a mental breakdown, but Wayne was not unprepared. Bruce Wayne had created a back-up personality which he buried in the back of his mind just in case a situation like this ever occurred. His back-up personality kicks in and Bruce Wayne becomes the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh. (Batman v1 #678) Unaware that Batman is no longer incapacitated, the Club of Villains begin targeting the other members of the Batman Family. Swagman is tasked with taking down Robin but is unable to do so. (Batman v1 #679) The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh and members of the Batman Family and the Club of Heroes track down the Club of Villains to their base. (Batman v1 #680) After a drawn out conflict, the Club of Villains are defeated and Batman returns to his former personality. During the conflict, Swagman was rendered unconscious by the Dark Ranger. (Batman v1 #681)
