History
He controls the city's waterfront and operates out of the Midnight Lounge.[1] In his spare time, he tinkers with clocks as a hobby. He is known to have previously worked with John Diggle.[2] He uses weaponized clocks and watches to attack his victims.[3][4]
Tockman once intended to be an engineer and worked for Queen Industries, but claims Robert Queen ruined his career by firing him and taking advantage of his research. He redirected his grudge against Robert to his son, Oliver, upon Robert's death.[4]
He was also seen in Gotham city attempting to take on Batman, having gained an intricate knowledge of his fighting style from watching the news, only to be thwarted by Catwoman crashing through a window which he did not expect.[5]
