Hugo Strange

Prof. **Hugo Strange** (ヒューゴ・ストレンジ, *Hyūgo Sutorenji*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *Marvelous DC's* *Justice Avengers* series created by Gardner Fox and Jack Kirby. He is one of Batman's greatest enemies, and secretly, an agent of the Cabal Light.

He is a brilliant evil scientist and psychologist, the morally ambiguous head chief of Psychiatry at Arkham Asylum, who was driven by his keen interest of the criminal mind, the puppet manipulator of Quincy Sharp, founding leader for the TYGER organization, and Monica's old friend.

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

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

"*So, you know my name. Good, because I know everything about you. Secrets, Weaknesses. Oh, you are a truly extraordinary specimen. I look forward to breaking you... Bruce Wayne*"

—Prof. Hugo Strange, to Batman.
