## Personality

Temblor is a guy for hire,and he is prone to be very lethal if he is not met with his paycheck. He is also not above killing children,as he attempted to kill Pamela Isley when he found out she was his boss and had no money.

## History

He first appeared in the episode *Batgirl Begins, Part One*. Temblor was hired by an unknown employer to destroy various buildings belonging to research companies that specialized in developing genetically engineered plant life and often dumped the hazardous byproducts carelessly into the environment. Temblor's activities attracted the attention of both the GCPD and the Batman. When Temblor was sent to destroy the Neugog Chemicals building, he encountered the police and had a brief confrontation with the Dark Knight, but was successful in his mission and escaped. After the third building, Neugog Chemicals, was destroyed, his anonymous employer was revealed to be the teenaged eco terrorist, Pamela Isley, who had no intentions of paying him properly. Isley assigned Temblor to destroy Chlorogene's corporate office, but when he arrived, he was again confronted by Batman, who was successful in thwarting the villain's attack, forcing Temblor to retreat. After Batman foiled the destruction of Chlorogene's main office, Temblor was again contacted by Isley, who wanted him to destroy the Chlorogene Research Labs. However, Temblor stated there was a problem with his payment, to which Isley countered with pointing out that he failed to complete the last job, and threatened not to pay him unless he "[got] over here" immediately. This would be Isley's undoing, as it told Temblor his employer was at the location. Upon meeting up with his employer and discovering who she was, Temblor opted to kill Isley for her lack of payments as well as Barbara Gordon, who had also arrived to try to get through to her friend. Being chased through the Chlorogene lab, Pamela was left crushed under some debris by Temblor's attack. However, Batman showed up to confront Temblor yet again. In the ensuing fight, Batman destroyed Temblor's gloves, and Pamela was doused with various chemical agents, which would contribute to her transformation into Poison Ivy. Following the confrontation, Temblor was arrested.

Temblor later made a cameo as one of the many villains incarcerated by vigilante Rumor. During the villains' fight against Batman and Robin, he was accidentally frozen by Mr. Freeze. He was arrested along with the others after the fight.

### The Batman Strikes!

Temblor appeared as one of the many criminals loose in Gotham city in an issue of *The Batman Strikes!*, *Waiting to Pounce*, when Batman was forced to fight him after numerous criminals escaped Arkham due to Catwoman. Temblor appeared in another issue, in the Joker's group of villains in *How To Take On a Room Full of Goons*, and was defeated along with Mr. Freeze in an amusement park.

## Powers and Abilities

Temblor has the ability to create localized seismic activity and can produce concussive blasts of sound. Both are due to his special gauntlets which are comprised of an unknown technology.

### Abilities

* **Technology Expert**: Temblor was an expert in knowing how his technology worked, as he was seen working on his gauntlets, suggesting that he may have built the gauntlets himself.

### Weapons

**Vibro-Gauntlets:** Temblor uses specifically designed armored gauntlets that can generate shock-waves and earthquakes of various intensities, controlled by the dials on top of them.

### Weaknesses

* **Gauntlet dials**: The dials on top of Temblor's gauntlets allow them to be activated. If they cannot be accessed - such as when Batman threw ice pellets on them - Temblor cannot use his gauntlets, thereby making him easier to defeat.
