The Brick Bat was a man in a bat mask who killed people by throwing bricks at them.
History
The Brick Bat's true identity and motivation for creating his costumed identity are unknown. He had a criminal scientist create for him a supply of bricks that hid a poisonous gas that was released when they were broken up. After using one to kill the scientist as a test of their effectiveness, the Brick Bat engaged in a robbery spree where he'd use the gaseous bricks to kill his victims before purloining their valuables. He was captured by the hero 711, who skillfully maneuvered so the brick aimed at him smashed through a window, instead of hitting a solid wall and breaking open. This gave him enough time to close the distance and knock out the Brick Bat with a flurry of punches.
