Captain Boomerang

George "Digger" Harkness lived with an abusive stepfather, leading him to become a problem child. Finally kicked at at age 18, his mother set him up with his biological father, American toymaker W. W. Wiggins, in Central City, Missouri so he would at least have a job. Digger was hired as a mascot of the company's new boomerang line of toys, named Captain Boomerang, but would then proceed to launch a one-wave crime wave on Central City, earning himself the attention of Barry Allen, the second Flash. While Captain Boomerang was a relatively minor foe in the Flash's rogues gallery, he would gain much more notoriety as being one of the first supervillains handpicked by Amanda Waller for the revived Task Force X, better known as the Suicide Squad. Digger would also travel to the future and have an affair with the then-widowed Meloni Thawne, ancestor of the Reverse-Flash and mother of Bart Allen a.k.a. Impulse (Barry's grandson), and have a son named Owen Mercer, who would become the second Captain Boomerang when Digger temporarily died in a mutual killing against Jack Drake (father of Tim Drake).
