The Make-Up Man was a criminal from Gotham City, who never revealed his true appearance and he always used several disguises to conceal his face.

Born of theatrical parents, the Make-Up Man lived his entire childhood behind the curtains of a theater, where he gained the skills necessary to become a master of disguise. However, he became fed up with the artistic life and he turned to crime in order to make a profit, albeit a dishonest one. He gathered some crooks for his gang and he provided them with a special equipment, which allowed them to control animatronic human figures in order to commit crimes. His criminal activities attracted the unwanted attention of the notorious crime-fighters, Batman and Robin, as well as that of the private detective Hugh Rankin. The Make-Up Man managed to capture Rankin as the detective investigated the case, but they were eventually stopped and captured by the Dynamic Duo, who sent the entire gang to jail.
