I've heard all about you from Damian. He said you're an ass-kissing, disposable whipping boy who's been bred into serve under the iron bootheel of the al Ghul family for centuries.

Ubu is the bodyguard of the immortal leader of the League of Assassins Ra's al Ghul.

Heretic was seen first as Talia al Ghul's version of Ubu.[1]

Two Ubus were seen trying to stop Leviathan assassins and Talia al Ghul from getting to Ra's al Ghul, killed by Heretic.[2].

When the Crime Syndicate seemingly killed the Justice League, a member of the Secret Society visited Ra's al Ghul and invited him to join but, when Ra's refused, the messenger attempted to kill him, killing Ubu instead.[3]

In DC Rebirth continuity, a new Ubu is seen serving alongside his master as members of the US Government in an unknown tower and later in the Batcave.[4]

One version of Ubu is stated to have committed suicide after being ashamed of his defeats at the hands of Batman. He would have a son, Koru, who filled the role of his father during the time of Batman Beyond.[5]

  • There have been 11 people to take up the mantle of Ubu.
