HISTORY

Sergeant Max Cort of the Gotham City Police was not thrilled with the emergence of costumed vigilantes and villains in the city years ago. Convinced that the Batman was a criminal and disgusted by Captain Gordon seemingly working with the enemy, Cort sought the aid of psychiatrist Hugo Strange, who hypnotized Cort, convincing him that he was better than the Bat, and gave him a costume and a mask.

Fighting fire with fire, Cort became a vigilante himself – as the Night-Scourge, he violently fought crime and tried to eliminate the Catwoman. After a clash with Batman, the Night-Scourge was shot to death by his own police squad.
