Codename: Hush

Bio: Thomas Elliot was born into a wealthy family, like his childhood friend, Bruce Wayne, but unlike Bruce's family, his father was abusive, and his mother did nothing to stop it. He tried to kill his parents as a result, cutting thier car's brake line. His father died, but his mother was saved by Bruce's father, which gave Elliot a lifelong hatred of the Wayne family. He got into a fight with another boy, and was admitted to a psuch ward, but was released by an intern named Johnathan Crane. He befriended Peyton Riley, a relationship his mother hated, going so far as to cut Tommy out of her will. He killed her, and Riley killed her lawyer and destroyed the new will, allowing him to inherit the family fortune. This relationship would soon dissolve, and Thomas would afterward travel the world, much like his rival did. He attended Harvard and became a surgeon. At some point, he becomes Edward Nigma's doctor, and diagnoses him with terminal cancer. Nigma goes so far as to hijack one of Ra's al Ghul's Lazarus Pits to heal himself, and during the temporary insanity that Pit users undergo after using the Pit, he has an unexpected epiphany: Bruce Wayne is the Batman. He shares this with Elliot, and, realizing that they have a common enemy, they pool resources to bring him down. Thomas Elliot adopts the name Hush, which is said to have been coined by Scarecrow, in reference to the nursery rhyme 'Hush Little Baby'. Hush has since nearly beaten Batman on several occasions, but with no actual success.
Extra: Wields twin M1911.45 caliber pistols, which are his weapons of choice (his ability with them has been compared to Deadshot). Is also a very competent hand-to-hand combatant, able to fight almost on par with Batman. Also carries scalpels, which he can use as throwing knives, and a large array of drugs and muscle relaxants, which he also can use as weapons. As a former surgeon, he is able to perform surgeries that would otherwise be impossible, even going so far as to perform routine plastic surgery on himself, making his physical appearance almost identical to Bruce Wayne, with minimal drugs and sheer force of will. Like many of Batman's Rogues, Hush won't let anyone else kill Batman, feeling that it's his right alone to do so.
