Biography
First gaining fame as a psychiatrist who declared that he’d fully analyzed the Dark Knight from afar, Professor Hugo Strange lent credence to his own claims by deducing Batman’s true identity as Bruce Wayne. However, his interest in the Batman turned into his greatest obsession, and he’s used his scientific and medical expertise to hatch a series of bizarre plots based around genetics and mind control in order to possibly take his place by any means necessary. Hugo’s obligational side has left him with intermittent knowledge of Batman’s true identity, a fact that hangs over Bruce Wayne’s head – for if Bruce himself tries anything that would ever get Hugo angered, Batman’s greatest secret might be revealed…

Personality
Hugo is a doctor dedicated to understanding the workings of the human mind, no matter what it takes. He has somewhat remorse for his actions, given he let Jervis experiment on the forgotten patients to perfect the enhancements on his mind-control abilities. This also gave him an inflated ego, since he had figured out Bruce Wayne's secret identity.

Abilities and Traits
While the source of his physical prowess is debatable, Hugo possesses speed and agility that borders on inhuman, allowing him to avoid most danger to his person. He is an accomplished martial artist, able to hold his own even when fighting all 3 Gotham knights (Batman, Robin, and Nightwing), as well as Catwoman, Bane and more of Batman's bad guys. In battle, his unique fighting-style is mostly defensive, allows him to adapt to seemingly any situation and use any item of the very battlefield to his advantage. He also possesses super-human endurance and recovery, as evidenced when he was in the middle of a big explosion, yet survived with no permanent damage. Hugo is able to fend off multiple opponents due to his enhanced DNA which he has been extracting from various inmates, even the ones during his time as a Arkham psychiatrist.
