You want to know a secret, Batman? For a long time, I thought you were one. Older than Gotham, a barbatos. It's why I did the terrible things I did. Quilting life abnormally ... just to meet you! But then I did meet you, and I realized ... you were just ... flesh and blood!

— Paul Dekker

Paul Dekker is a member of the Doctors Three - one of the most brilliant scientists in Gotham City. He also became the first criminal to use the name Crazy Quilt.

History

Paul Dekker worked at Wayne Enterprises where, due to his research into soft tissue, was nicknamed "the body" as part of the Doctors Three. Eventually, his research into the chemical Dionesium drove him insane, and he temporarily operated as the colorful criminal Crazy Quilt.

After battling Batman, Dekker went into hiding, continuing his research into Dionesium. When the Joker had been revived by a pool of the chemical underneath Gotham and initiated an endgame plot against Batman, the Bat went to Dekker for answers.

Though Dekker (hostilely) shared the fruits of his research, he injected himself with an experimental formula at the end of the confrontation, which reduced Dekker to a hideous zombie before Batman's eyes.

Another Crazy Quilt very similar in appearance to Dekker later succeeded him.
