History
Originally one of the most dedicated and committed attorneys, 24 year old Harvey "Apollo" Kent was assigned to handle the murder case of mob boss Sal "Boss" Maroni,lost the case and decided to make an example of Kent and threw sulphuric acid in Kent's face, horribly scarring his left hand and the left half of his face. Unable to accept the loss of his own personal beauty, "Apollo" Kent sank into despair deciding to allow fate to determine if he was try to arise above his disfigurement or sink into it. Kent scarred one side of Maroni's two-headed coin and decided to let fate in the tosses of the dual headed coin decide whether he acted for good or evil in any situation.
After a short period of time as a criminal mastermind Kent overcomes his temporary insanity after accidentally shooting his former fiancée, Gilda. [1] Kent surrenders himself to Batman and undergoes trial. Hearing of an experimental corrective "plastic" surgery that was developed by Dr. Ekhart, a brilliant plastic surgeon that could recover his skin coloring and structure Kent agreed to undergo the procedure. Kent's deformed face and hand was finally repaired through the efforts of Dr. Ekhart. The surgery was completely successful and Kent was able to mentally heal from his previous criminal attitude. Over a period of time, Kent was pardoned for his temporary insanity and allowed to resume his duties as Attorney District of Gotham City.
After being cured of his own temporary insanity, some years later Kent would plead with and fail to redeem the second criminal Two-Face of Earth-Two, former actor Paul Sloane who found his true calling as the criminal entity over his original failed identity. Kent would successfully prosecute the second Two-Face on several occasions after the second Two-Face would be arrested by Batman in his excessive criminal acts. Kent would eventually retire to family life marrying Gilda in his later years.
It is unknown if Kent survived into old age during the time of the Crisis on Infinite Earths. If he did, like all people of Earth-Two, Kent was killed and erased from ever existing during the Crisis on Infinite Earths and succeeded by his new Earth counterpart.Powers and Abilities
