Clownhunter

Bao Pham is an American-Vietnamese vigilante living in the Narrows, Bao Pham witnessed his parent's brutal deaths at the hands of the Joker at the age of twelve. As he grew up and watched the Clown Price of Crime's body-count rise, he came to believe Batman wasn't going far enough and that the criminal needed to die. Five years after his parents' death, the Joker waged war on Gotham City, leading an endless army of criminals to attack Gotham. After watching some of his men burn down a comic book store, Bao finally decided to take matters into his own hands and became the Clownhunter. Using a baseball bat with a batarang attached to the end, he patrolled the Narrows and killed roughly twelve of Joker's men during the war.

With the aftermath of Joker's defeat, Batman confronted Boa at his room. Having heard that he'd been forced to fight his parents zombified bodies during one of the fights, Clownhunter berated the Dark Knight for destroying their bodies and for not killing the Joker directly. In response, Batman told him to give up the vigilante path and gave him the contact details of Leslie Thompkins, warning him that he'd be arrested if he killed any more of Joker's thugs.

Sometime afterwards, Clownhunter tracked down Harley Quinn and planned to murder her for her involvement with his parent's murder. As he prepared to attack, Batman subdued him. However, another vigilante called Ghost-Maker subdued the Dark Knight and brought them to an abandoned area of Arkham Asylum.

Though he planned to go through with it, he relented after Quinn apologized for her actions. Bao then left the asylum whilst they confronted Ghost-Maker.

Cluemaster

Cobalt Blue

Cobalt Blue is an alias used by supervillains in the DC Universe.

Malcolm Thawne

Malcolm Thawne is the twin brother of Barry Allen, the other son of Henry Allen and Nora Allen, and the ancestor of Eobard Thawne.

The doctor who delivered the twins had already accidentally killed a separate child who belonged to Charlene Thawne. To cover up the error, he removed the first baby from Nora's womb and gave Malcolm, the first-born, to the Thawnes and told the Allens that Barry was the surviving twin while the other twin had been stillborn.''The Flash'' (vol. 2) #144 (January 1999) Malcolm's "parents" (Hugo and Charlene) were con artists, passing off a healing salve that was actually used to cover the Thawnes' natural super-abilities. Because of his clean-cut looks and demeanor, Malcolm was most often used to lure the unsuspecting victims. As an adult, he was in Central City, and stumbled onto Barry by chance. Curious why there was another man with his face, he demanded the truth from his parents who admitted having been aware of the infant switch from the beginning. Malcolm refused to believe that his parents could be so heartless, and he tracked down the doctor that had delivered him. The doctor confirmed the Thawnes' story and, in a rage, Malcolm murdered the doctor.

The Thawne family's matriarch, Malcolm's grandmother, who also possessed the ability to control the "blue flame" (which was revealed to be a mystical ability passed down through the Thawne family) was disgusted at Hugo's pathetic use of the gift to con people. Malcolm, on the other hand, possessed the passion required to make full use of the ability. His grandmother trained him in the secret of the flame. Fueled by Malcolm's rage and jealousy at his twin for 'stealing his life', Malcolm fashioned a blue gem to contain the flame, which was capable of stealing the second Flash's superspeed.

His first attempt ended in failure,''Speed Force'' #1 (November 1997) and Malcolm was absorbed into the gem, only to re-emerge years later when Wally West was the third Flash. Barry's death during the Crisis on Infinite Earths appeared to have cheated Malcolm out of his dreams of revenge on his brother. Instead, Malcolm focused on his brother's descendants traveling through time in a bid to exterminate them, starting with Wally. As Cobalt Blue, Malcolm ignited a family feud that endured for a millennium.

The feud came to a head in the late 30th century, where Barry was living with Iris West-Allen but Wally arrived as protection. The Flashes of all eras between the 20th and 30th centuries arrived soon after, all under the control of Thawne's spirit because they all were carrying a shard of the original Cobalt Blue gem.''The Flash'' (vol. 2) #148 (May 1999) After defeating all the other Flashes,''The Flash'' (vol. 2) #149 (June 1999) in the end, Wally ended the menace of Cobalt Blue by running so fast and skirting the edge of the Speed Force. Its power poured into the gem, and Thawne's spirit (and the gem itself) overloaded from the excess energy.''The Flash'' (vol. 2) #150 (July 1999)

Despite the fact that there are supposed to be many versions of Cobalt Blue between now and the 30th century, neither Malcolm or Cobalt Blue have appeared since the "Chain Lightning" arc. It is unknown if these timelines even exist following the events of '' Infinite Crisis''.

Numerous others in the future have become Cobalt Blue, such as the 21st century version that was defeated by a time-travelling Jay Garrick and Iris West II.

23rd Century Colbalt Blue

The Cobalt Blue of the 23rd century had brutally murdered the Flash of that era's wife and had crippled his daughter, Sela. Eight months after this, the Flash killed Cobalt Blue, but his victory was short-lived as a child picked up the gem and, being consumed by its rage, killed the Flash. A time-travelling Max Mercury and Sela Allen, who was now healed, returned the boy to normal.

25th Century Cobalt Blue

In the 25th century, the roles of the Flash and Cobalt Blue were reversed. Now Chardaq Allen had taken the role of Cobalt Blue. Professor Zoom the Reverse-Flash and Wally West defeated Chardaq and returned him to normal.''The Flash'' (vol. 2) #147 (April 1999)

28th Century Cobalt Blue

The 28th century Cobalt Blue almost ended the Allen bloodline when she infected Jace Allen with a virus. Jace's father Blaine, the then-current Flash, sacrificed himself to save his son. Ten years later, Jace was now the Flash''The Flash'' (vol. 2) #145 (February 1999) and he and a time-travelling Jesse Quick defeated Cobalt Blue.''The Flash'' (vol. 2) #146 (March 1999)

Carson then introduced himself to those taking the tour, while reporting to Percy Odell that Cyclotronic Man and the Markovian soldiers with him have been eliminated. In the episode "The Book of Occupation Chapter Three: Agent Odell's Pipe-Dream," it was suspected by Lynn that Cyclotronic Man was the carrier for a man-made virus that the Markovians used to infect the metahumans in the A.S.A.'s custody. This was confirmed by Helga Jace in a discussion with Lynn in the episode "The Book of Markovia Chapter Three: Motherless ID."

Xiomara Rojas was born to an unknown human mother and Czarnian bounty hunter Lobo. Mysteriously, she crash-landed in the middle of the Burning Man festival in the Black Rock Desert wrapped in a sentient chain known as Obelus. Obelus wouldn't allow her to be touched, until she was discovered by the couple David and Lisa Rojas, who would adopt the child. The family would homeschool Xiomara, and would move a lot due to their debts and legal issues.

After seeing a report of Lobo fighting Superman, she immediately recognized her true father. She confronted her adopted parents, who had previously told her that her birth parents were superheroes protecting the universe. She ran away, and after being attacked by white supremacists at a gas station, returned to find her mobile home burnt to the ground, with her parents dead and Obelus missing.

She began to fight in illegal rings, where she took the name Crush. She was then approached by Robin, who invited her to the Teen Titans. She accepted, believing Robin could help her solve her parents' murder.

After the Teen Titans were enrolled as students in the newly formed Titans Academy, Crush quits the team after feeling she has no place in the school.

After leaving the Teen Titans, Crush would travel space to hunt for her father's bounty and confront him.

By the events of Dark Crisis, Crush has seemingly rejoined the Teen Titans.

Cyborgirl

LeTonya Charles was a young woman who had destroyed her body with the drug Tar, but was granted a second chance when her aunt, Sarah Charles, one of the scientists who helped repair Cyborg, saved her with powerful cybernetic implants. Rather than use her newfound gifts for good, LeTonya chose to focus on personal gain as Cyborgirl. She became a member of Villainy, Inc., teaming up with several seasoned Wonder Woman villains. She and her teammates tried to overthrow Skartaris, but were stopped by Wonder Woman.

When the government rounded up villains and sent them to the planet Salvation, she handed herself over to the Justice League to avoid being exiled. Soon after, Cyborgirl joined the Cyborg Revenge Squad and was one of several such beings to wage an attack against Victor Stone at S.T.A.R. Labs. Stone avoided Cyborgirl's electromagnetic attack, but succeeded in defeating her through sheer force.

Powers and abilities of Cyborgirl

Cybernetic enhancement: Because of the implants that her aunt gave her, Cyborgirl has the same powers as Cyborg. Much of her body has been replaced with advanced cybernetics. This grants her a variety of powers, including superhuman durability, superhuman speed, superhuman agility, superhuman reflexes,
superhuman stamina, superhuman strength, enhanced senses and energy projection.

* When '' Justice League'' was pitched to the Kids' WB network, the lineup originally included three young members as protégés for the Justice League. The members would have been Robin, Impulse and an original character described as a teenage female version of Cyborg (Cyborgirl or Natasha Irons). The promo is viewable on the fourth disc of the ''Justice League Season One'' boxed set.
* A character based on Cyborgirl named Laura Washington / Cyber-Woman appears in the ''Arrow'' season 5 episode " Invasion!", portrayed by Erica Luttrell. Dr. Laura Washington, nicknamed Cyber-Woman by Rory Regan, is a doctor that artificially augmented herself using technology stolen from Van Horn Industries. Augmenting herself cybernetically, Laura Washington stole a regulator from Van Horn Industries and implanted it in herself. Sometime after, Team Arrow tracked Washington down to a warehouse, hoping to take the regulator for their own means. Wild Dog took her on, but she shot blasts of energy at him, forcing him to dodge them. Before she could accurately hit him, Wild Dog was saved by the Flash. The Flash proceeded to beat up Laura, before allowing Supergirl to hit her, sending Laura at him for a finishing blow.
