OVERVIEW

Camilla Cameo had a very noisy childhood so decided to become a mime. She then led a life of crime, silencing noises over Gotham.

HISTORY

Camilla Cameo's father was the so-called, "Fireworks King" and launched fireworks almost all of the time. She hated this, but she still led an artistic life, like doing ballet and eventually becoming a mime. Her parents sadly dies in an explosion at the fireworks factory, so she inherited a small piece of her family's fortune. She loved the silence so decided to become a mime. She studied overseas for years of her life and returned home as a master. She used the rest of her money to start a show with other mimes and started, The Cameo Company. They did well and toured but at a financial loss. She then started a life of crime, and the first thing she did was take the clappers from church bells so they wouldn't ring in the morning. Batman and Robin noticed this all around Gotham, so they went to James Gordon. Meanwhile, Camilla was doing a performance in the middle of the street and while many applauded, most hated the performance and a cab driver honked and yelled at her to get out of the street. Infuriated by the noise and the cab driver, the mime pulled out a silenced gun and shot him in the shoulder. While everyone was in shock, she ran away. Batman found her, but when her hands touched his, electricity struck Batman. The Mime left the park and Batman tried to find her. She went to a performance of Blister Twister, a rock 'n' roll group and she cut the power and electrified the stage members and the band members. Batman stops her and Robin puts the power back on sending feedback and deafening Camilla. The show was put back on and the Mime was put in jail.
