Biography

Early life

During his childhood, Bruce has witness his parents' death by the hand of corrupt cop Gordon and his partner Napier. Bruce then sworn that he would never rest until he'd made Gotham into a place where no one would suffer such injustice again.

After years of training, and learning from wretched people from Metropolis and Opal City, he gathered enough skills and knowledge to tear down the golden palaces of Gotham's moneyed elite.[2]

Becoming Owlman and founding the Crime Syndicate

In 2014, Bruce Wayne was in Central City when the particle accelerator exploded, and he witnessed the creation of hyperhumans. He encountered hyperhumans such as Ultraman, Superwoman, Power Ring and Johnny Quick who were very powerful but lacked self-control and morality. He has adopted their ridiculous notions of costumes and colorful sobriquets as camouflage to walk among them. Bruce took the alias of "Owlman" and manipulated the others into believing they were part of a group and formed the Crime Syndicate of America without realizing that Bruce were manipulating them in order to become less than a threat to him. The Crime Syndicate soon took over the United States, after which they each controlled a different part of the country. Bruce only kept Gotham City as his own personal kingdom, where he took out the rich families such as the Bertinellis, Zuccos and the Maronis where he hanged their corpse from the highest parapets of Gotham Tower as a warning.[3][1][2]

In 2016, James Jesse showed a map of the United States revealing each territory of the country taken by the Crime Syndicate. Owlman's symbol was an owl head.[3]

Stranded on another Earth

In 2018, Bruce built a device in Central City that opened a breach to Earth-1A's Central City in order to escape the destruction of his world caused by the Anti-Matter Man. Later, instead of attacking that new universe like the rest of the Crime Syndicate, Bruce removed his disguise and masqueraded as an ordinary citizen. After witnessing the Syndicate's defeat, Bruce started planning to take over Central City, but was interrupted by a cop who recognized him as Bruce Wayne.[1]

Meeting Madame Xanadu and learning of his fate

After studying this new Earth's history in the Central City Public Library, and realizing how laxest the people of this world were, compared to his home world, he deduced that S.T.A.R. Labs was the secret base of operation of the Flash. He managed to break into S.T.A.R. Labs undetected and spied on Team Flash where he learned from the conversation of the members that the Flash is in another world and prepared to enact his initial plan, but Madame Xanadu revealed that she was lying to Iris all this time about her condition and waited Bruce to show up which frightened him a bit for the first time in a very long time. Madame Xanadu summoned a projection of the Multiverse and reveals to Owlman the imminent destruction of this multiverse and that he could help in saving it. Madame Xanadu later let Bruce take her hostage in order to convince team Flash that he was their only home in saving the multiverse.[2]
