Edward Arvin was a criminal known as Mister Blank who created a phony machine, which could apparently predict crimes.

History

The machine didn't work, but instead he placed the information about the crimes, given the fact that he knew all the required information. To gain notoriety among the criminal underworld, Arvin destroyed the machine as Mr. Blank, earning the gratitude of several criminals, who would've joined Blank's gang if Blank hadn't been captured by Batman and Robin.

Notes

• This version of Mister Blank, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022-2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
