Origin[]
Grant Richmond was a little-respected junior partner at the law firm of Fuddy and Bustle who felt that the legal system made as much sense as the work of Lewis Carroll. So by night, he put on a costume and became the Mad Hatter. He can shine his top hat insignia against walls to strike fear into criminals, and he also speaks in rhyme.
One of his enemies was wanted criminal Frank Faro, who was soon executed in the electric chair. Soon after, a doctor claims the body, takes it to his lab, and removes the brain, placing it in the skull of a gorilla. When the gorilla comes to, he kills the doctor and disguises himself as a human, calling himself the Gargoyle, and vows revenge on the judge, jury and Mad Hatter.
Powers and Abilities[]
