Hugo Strange (Arkham Series)

==Summary==
Professor Hugo Strange first gained fame as a psychiatrist who declared that he had fully analyzed the Dark Knight from afar, and later lent credence to his own claims by deducing Batman's true identity as Bruce Wayne. However, his interest in the Batman turned into a deranged obsession, and he used his medical expertise to hatch a series of bizarre plots based around genetics and mind control in order to defeat the hero and possibly take his place as Gotham's savior.
He served as one of the main antagonists in Batman: Arkham City, where the main plot revolved around Batman stopping Protocol 10, the dubious warden's mysterious endgame that he devised with Ra's Al Ghul.
