Mad Hatter

> *"Mr. Tetch is a wonderful and loving man, who wants nothing but the best for us. His whimsical machines are presents for us, and we found them before they were ready. We should put them back. Put them back and join him down there, for a nice cup of tea."*

Jervis Tetch is a former city planner, now known as the Mad Hatter. He kidnapped and brainwashed over 333 civilians for the purpose of building his machines, until he was stopped by Domestic Peacekeeper 001 alongside the Gotham City Police Department.

## History

### Early life

Jervis Tetch was born with a condition which made him immobile in 85% of his body. Prior to becoming the Mad Hatter, Jervis was employed as a city developer, before being fired from his job for unknown reasons (Flass' segment written while under the Hatter's control indicates that Tetch believes he was fired unjustly). One year prior to his capture, Tetch had kidnapped more than 333 civilians, on whom he used drugs and psychedelic light therapy to induce a form of mind control. He then used these civilians to build several machines in his lair in the Gotham sewer, which he dubbed his "Wonderland", Many of his victims died of exhaustion during this period.

### February 10th

On February 10th, Batman tracked him down to sewer system block 38, and conducted a raid of the sewer block alongside GCPD officers. During the raid, 48 of Mad Hatter's army were killed during the raid and Tetch was apprehended by Batman after he smashed the technology on his helmet. At county holding, Mad Hatter was interrogated by Detective Flass, who he successfully mind controlled. It is likely that Flass attempted to return Hatter's machines to the sewers based on Batman's report. It is unlikely that Flass succeeded as in the same report, Batman stated that he was coming to give the interrogation a "personal touch".

As of Entry 25, Jervis Tetch is likely in Arkham Hospital.

## Trivia

* The Mad Hatter's mind control technology was based on an illegal human experimentation program codenamed Project MKUltra. MKUltra was dedicated to developing procedures and identifying drugs like LSD which could be used to weaken subjects and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture.
