History: Tommy Elliot was a boy who couldn't be satisfied. One of Bruce Wayne's only childhood
friends, he cut the brakeline on his parents' car, intending to kill them both and reap the rewards
of his inheritance. Bruce promised that his father, a celebrated surgeon, would save Tommy's parents.
Mr. Elliot died, but Dr. Thomas Wayne was able to save Mrs. Elliot, destroying Tommy's dream.
Tommy blamed his friend for saving his mother's life and would never forgive him for ruining his
plans.
Thomas Elliot became one of the world's premier brain surgeons, also mastering oncology, all the while
plotting his revenge. He would find the means for his vengeance from an unexpected source: Edward Nigma,
the Riddler.
Believing the Riddler might be able to resolve some mysteries about Bruce Wayne, he treated Nigma's
cancer with the only means that could work: a dip in a rejuvenating Lazarus Pit. Surprisingly, it
not only cured Nigma but provided the mental acuity to answer his greatest riddle: Who is Batman? Armed
with his surprising news, Elliot and Nigma devised a plan to destroy their common foe.
Swaddling himself in bandages and donning a trench coat, Elliot began to manipulate nearly every one of
Batman's enemies and allies in a Byzantine game of cat-and-mouse culminating on the bridge of his
parents' car crash.
Hush revealed his identity to the Dark Knight, but his revenge was cut short by the gunshots of an aptly
double-crossing Two Face. His body fell into the Gotham Harbor, never to be recovered. Recently Hush has
resurfaced, again armed with a scheme to destroy Batman. Evidence, however, indicates that this time Hush
may not be Thomas Elliot, again raising the question: Who is Hush?
