Biography[]
George Adler, Sr. was born in Virginia but grew up in Gotham City and had a son. He served in the United States Army until he was dishonorably discharged, thus; becoming a black ops contractor. But the experience somewhat broke him, causing Adler to start targeting various public figures deemed as heroes with bombing attacks in order to prove they weren't that heroic by placing them in front of them a choice to either save their own life or that of some strangers. Both Batman and the GCPD investigated him, but didn't find out his identity and ultimately, he was never caught due to passing away in 2013. Seven years after his death, his son confessed everything to Kate Kane.[1]
