Biography[]
Tetch was an insecure neuroscientist who felt that the world wasn't listening to him. As a result, he created mind-control technology imbued in his top hat that would force them to listen, this would cause him to come into conflict with Batman.
After one of their altercations, Batman took Tetch's top hat and had its technology disabled before placing it with his trophies from other defeated villains.
At some point, Tetch was believed to have died in Arkham Asylum.[1]
Legacy[]
Tetch's top hat was kept in the Batcave and later stolen by "Circe Sionis" on behalf of Roman Sionis and Safiyah Sohail.[2] The hat floated down the river with the other trophies after falling in during a fight between "Circe", Batwoman, and Alice.[3]
Eventually, the top hat was found at the side of the river by two men; who sold it online to Liam Crandle; an Alice-obsessed fan who used the hat's technology to become the second "Mad Hatter".[1]
