![]() ![]() Hush also ends up nearly killing Poison Ivy in a fruitless attempt to recruit her.įollowing a short-lived alliance with JLA nemesis Prometheus, Hush then begins to torment Bruce Wayne with the aid of an all-new Clayface (Johnny Williams). Still out to destroy Batman and determined not to let the rest of the villains get in his way, Hush quickly carves out a niche for himself, beating his former accomplice the Riddler to within an inch of his life, and even driving the Joker out of town. When Hush resurfaces, he does so with a vengeance. However, Elliot's plan was undermined when Two-Face reformed after Elliot gave him plastic surgery in return for his legal expertise, and Harvey Dent contacted the now-retired James Gordon to provide Batman with crucial assistance until Elliot was unmasked. During this time, Elliot assumed the identity of a man whose head was wrapped in bandages and spoke in a low voice when observing his plans unfolding, eventually adopting the name "Hush" based on the song "Hush, Little Baby," about a boy who couldn't be satisfied. As part of this plot, he mutated Killer Croc and had him set up a kidnapping to provide additional funds Poison Ivy took control of Catwoman – and later briefly controlled Superman – to provide additional security Elliot faked his own death at the Joker's hands (with Clayface posing as Elliot's body) to provoke Batman into killing the Joker and thus destroy him as a person and Scarecrow caused further discord among Batman's allies. Aided by the Riddler – who had recently used a Lazarus Pit and had an epiphany that led him to realize Batman's true identity in the bargain – Elliot set up an elaborate plot against Batman. Twisted by his own avarice, he inwardly blamed Bruce Wayne for his perceived "good fortune" after the deaths of the Waynes left Bruce in exactly the position that Tommy had sought to create himself – a mentality that would one day fuel an elaborate plot to destroy Bruce Wayne altogether. Tommy eventually came into possession of the fortune that he so desperately wanted, but he had to wait years, watching his mother suffer and ultimately succumb to cancer. Tommy’s father was instantly killed, but his mother managed to survive, thanks to emergency surgery by Bruce's father. He severed the brake lines on his parents' car, sending the vehicle careening off the side of the road. Tommy crafted a scheme to obtain his own fortune. He instructed them to stay in their hotel room, but they snuck out to see the big city, where they witnessed a battle between the formerly retired super-hero Green Lantern and his old nemesis the Icicle. One day, Thomas Wayne took Bruce and Tommy with him on a business trip to Metropolis. Instead of defending Thomas, she forced him to memorize Aristotle as a way to deal in a subtle, passive way with his father – something for which he never forgave her. His mother, who had originally come from a background of poverty, did next to nothing to help her son, as she was willing to endure every abuse dealt to her and her son in order to keep her lavish lifestyle. However, while Bruce enjoyed his parents' company, Tommy hated his father, who was drunk and always abusive. Tommy and Bruce enjoyed playing games of strategy, with Tommy always seeming to outmaneuver his otherwise brilliant friend. Bruce's father, Thomas, was happy to see the children bond, and felt that Bruce had finally found a friend to whom he could relate. Childhoodīorn a child of wealth and privilege, young Tommy Elliot became close friends with Bruce Wayne. Surgically altered to look like Bruce Wayne. ![]()
