Unknown

Dr. **Thomas** "**Tommy**" **Elliot**, also known as "**Hush**", is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *MDC's* *Captain Batman* series created by Joe Simon and Bob Kane. He was the childhood best friend of Bruce Wayne.

He is also an incredibly skilled surgeon born into a wealthy family, but, unlike Bruce, despised his own parents due to his father's abusive nature and his mother's inability to control his father's temper towards against him.

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

Tommy was forced to wait for his mother to die to obtain and inherit their massive fortune, but never received his coveted inheritance as it was used entirely by his mother to refurbish Gotham City's hospitals prior to her death.

As a result, Tommy developed a violent and maddened rage towards the Wayne Family for denying him what he viewed was rightfully his; a rage that eventually centralized on only Bruce after the death of his parents.

Driven by a desire for revenge against Bruce and his inheritance, Tommy spent decades developing an elaborate scheme to ruin his former friend's life on every level and satisfy his twisted lust for both vengeance and wealth.

"*It took time, of course, to find the perfect donors. To graft on the flesh and, finally, to lose myself in order to create...this.*"

—Hush, to Batman and Captain America revealing his pieced-together face which looked exactly like Bruce Wayne.

### Biography

Tommy Elliot, Rachel Dawes 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.

## 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.
