History:
Little is known of the early life of the man called the Cluemaster before he first appeared on the scene in Gotham City, initiating a series of complex robberies in an attempt to learn the secret identities of the Dynamic Duo, Batman and Robin. Convinced the very knowledge that they were facing the Batman was a psychological handicap that gave the Masked Manhunter an edge over his foes, the Cluemaster was determined to learn the Batman's true identity so that he could sneak-attack and dispose of the Batman in his civilian guise.

To this end, the Cluemaster taunted the Batman with a series of topsy-turvy clues, while the Cluemaster's henchmen tracked the Batman around the city.

Unfortunately, the Batman deduced his scheme and captured the Cluemaster before he could succeed in discovering the Dark Knight's true identity, throwing in a few misleading clues of his own to throw the Cluemaster forever off the track.

Several years later, the Cluemaster escaped from prison and joined forces with a number of other criminals in an attempt to smother Gotham City beneath a massive crime wave, but once again he was defeated by the Batman and returned to jail.

Powers:
An average athlete and hand-to-hand combatant, the Cluemaster prefers to rely on the plasti-glass pellets attached ot the fron of his uniform to defeat his foes. These pellets variously contain a blinding incendiary flare, smothering smoke, incapacitating gas, and high explosives, among other items, that are released when hurled, making the Cluemaster, as Robin once called him, "a walking Utility Belt"!
