Hugo Strange

Professor **Hugo Strange** (ヒューゴ・ストレンジ, *Hyūgo Sutorenji*), is both a fictional character and deuteragonist of the *MDC* series created by C. B. Cebulski and Jim Lee. He was one of Batman's greatest enemies.

He was a brilliant but disturbed scientist and psychologist, the morally ambiguous head chief of Psychiatry of Arkham Asylum, who was driven by his keen interest of the criminal mind, and secretly, an agent of the Cabal Light.

A skilled manipulator who spent years studying every hero and villain, eventually accomplished a feat that few ever did; deducing secret identities. Armed with great knowledges and a great deals of cunning, he formed an alliance with the Cabal Light.

Outlining his plans with them to assume complete control over Earth and purge its population, he had also lusted to claim the secrets of immortality that Rā's al Ghūl possessed for himself by proving to be a worthy successor to his new masters.

"*So, you know my name. Good, because I know everything about you. Your darkest secret. Your ultimate weakness. I know who you are, Bruce Wayne.*"

—Prof. Hugo Strange, to Batman.
