The Net src

The Net was an enemy of the Blackhawks.

In the mid-1950s, a crime-planner calling himself "the Net" used nets of all sizes and compositions, in elaborate gadgets and gimmicks, to commit dramatic high-stakes crimes. Inevitably this brought him to the attention of the Blackhawk Squadron, who put him out of business. The Net and his gang were arrested.


Abilities

  • Gadgetry: The Net built some truly outlandish contraptions, seemingly in order to commit big time crimes in the most inefficient way possible. He once caused a multi-acre steel-mesh net to spring itself into position over a huge factory, and suspend itself in place like a cage. This was accomplished in order to steal some industrial diamonds.

Other Characteristics

  • Mental Disorder: In a lucid moment, the Net actually complains about the cost of making the special nets he uses. But this only motivates him to go after the Blackhawks even more.


  • This version of The Net, 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.
