Thomas Elliot

Dr. **Thomas** "**Tommy**" **Elliot** (トーマス・“トミー”・エリオット, *Tōmasu "Tomī" Eriotto*), also known as "**Hush**" (ハッシュ, *Hasshu*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *MDC's* *Justice Avengers* series created by Gardner Fox and Jack Kirby.

He was born into a wealthy family and was a childhood friend of Bruce Wayne, but, unlike Bruce, despised his parents due to his father's abusive nature and his mother's inability to control his father's temper towards him.

Driven by independence and wealth, Tommy cut the brakes of his parents' car, which killed his father and severely injured his mother, who only survived due to the surgical skills of Bruce's father: Dr. Thomas Wayne.

When his plan failed partly, he blamed Bruce. An incredibly skilled and famous surgeon as an adult, Tommy spent decades developing an elaborate scheme to ruin his former friend's life and satisfy his lust for vengeance against Wayne and wealth.

"*Bruce Wayne will suffer and you will not stop me.*"

—Hush, to Batman in his hideout in Arkham City.

### Biography

Tommy Elliot and Bruce Wayne were childhood friends and, unknown to Bruce and Rachel, dark reflections of each other (Thomas and Bruce). A childhood sociopath, Tommy tried to kill his parents so he could inherit their fortune. When his plan failed partly due to the surgical skills of Thomas Wayne, Bruce's father, Tommy blamed Bruce. An incredibly skilled surgeon as an adult, Tommy planned an elaborate revenge scheme on the Batman. He disguised himself as the villain Hush, his face covered in bandages, and plotted to finally take his revenge against Wayne.

## Personality

Thomas Elliot is a vengeful sociopath who developed an unbridled hatred towards the Waynes, namely his former best friend, Bruce, whom he grew to resent due to him obtaining his family fortune through inheritance. Elliot never inherited his family's money when Thomas Wayne saved his mother. Even in childhood, Elliot was cunning but his murderous, sociopathic desires proved deep-rooted enough to plan his parents death and stage it as an accident. His skills only grew as he got older, becoming a gifted surgeon. His sanity and morality, however, seemed to vanish further as he insanely laughed while cutting his own face after enlisting into Arkham City, then murdering and surgically removing the faces of six inmates. Elliot was willing to mutilate himself to assist with his revenge against Bruce Wayne by replicating Bruce's face and fingerprints to frame him and destroy his reputation. He was intensely proud of his work, describing it as his "Michelangelo's David" and his Mona Lisa.
