トーマス・ウェイン, Jr./オウルマン

Owlman is an unnamed super-intelligent supervillain and a member of the criminal organization known as the Crime Syndicate of America. In some of his appearances, Owlman also had the ability to briefly control other people's minds, though it is unclear how he acquired this ability. He was also able to see in the dark. He developed artificial devices to enhance his mental abilities, most notably the large reflective owl eyes in his helmet which he uses as a focusing transmitter onto his target.
- Following 52, another version of the character appeared. In The Search for Ray Palmer: Crime Society, he was shown to be killed by the Jokester with the his boot on Owlman's throat. Based on statements and illustrations in this same book, it is stated one of earlier Talons succeeded the old Owlman.
A young new Owlman (Jason Todd's counterpart) with a different costume and helmet later appears in the same book battling the Jokester. This Owlman appears again in Countdown #31, assisted by a team referred to as the Crime Society. He was apparently killed by quantum energy unleashed from Monarch, in the Earth-51 dimension, along with the rest of his teammates.
In the antimatter universe, Thomas Wayne, Jr. was the older brother of that reality's Bruce Wayne. Young Bruce was killed along with his mother by a policeman when Thomas, Sr., the Commissioner of GCPD, refused to accompany him for questioning. Thomas, Jr., escaped the crime and grew up to become Owlman, a master criminal and an ally to Boss Gordon. Equipping himself with a utility belt containing technology and weapons, along with possessing a drug-enhanced high intellect, Owlman became a master criminal. While Ultraman is the leader of the Syndicate, Owlman is the real brains behind the group. Further complicating things is the fact that Thomas, Jr., has carried on a longtime affair with Ultraman's wife Superwoman. Ultraman is aware of the affair, but due to Thomas, Jr., having undisclosed photographic blackmail material against the villain, he is unable to seek retribution against Owlman for the betrayal.
In the New 52, Thomas, Jr. had planned with his servant, Alfred, the murder of his parents so he can inherit all of the Wayne fortune before their parents throw all of their money away. Alfred eventually fulfilled the plan, killing his, father, mother and young Bruce. After that, Thomas Wayne, Jr. had become the richest boy in Gotham City. He grew up to become Owlman and he eventually joined the Crime Syndicate. He had a secret affair with Ultraman's wife and teammate Superwoman. Thomas later took under his wing, Richard Grayson, and he eventually became his sidekick, Talon. He along with the rest of the Crime Syndicate moved to the main DC Earth to conquer it. After being defeated by the Justice League, Owlman is mentioned to still be at large.
