HistoryEdit

The Fisherman is an international criminal who began his career by stealing rare objects and scientific inventions and selling them to the highest bidder. When he stole a growth formula capable of enlarging any living matter it came into contact with, he encountered Aquaman who captured him and his gang.

On several further occasions, the Fisherman has clashed with Aquaman; once when the Fisherman was running weapons to Atlantean rebels on behalf of the Shark, then again while the Fisherman was working for Kobra as part of the Serpent-Lord's plans for world conquest - each time Aquaman defeated the Fisherman. The Fisherman has also clashed with Blue Devil and once with the Green Lantern Gnort. He has taken up residence in the villain friendly country of Zandia. There was a second incarnation of The Fisherman. The Fisherman, Scavenger, Body Doubles, Red Panzer, Riddler, and Murmur attack the Gotham Police during The Infinite Crisis. The Fisherman goes on a rampage and begins to strangle Crispus Allen. He is shot dead by Detectives Marcus Driver and Josephine MacDonald. The Autopsy reveals that he is not the original Fisherman, only an imposter. The third Fisherman is a xenoform parasite that attaches itself to the host and uses fear to install in all of its victims.

NotesEdit

• Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
