Julian Day (New Earth)
From DC Database

History
Calendar Man is fascinated by dates and calendars – even his real name is a pun on the Julian and Gregorian calendars. His crimes always have a relationship to the date that they are committed. The theme may be related to what day of the week it is or to a holiday or to a special anniversary on that date; he will plan his crime around that day. He often wears different costumes which correspond to the significance of the date, though he does have a main costume which has various numbers (meant to represent days on a calendar) sprouting from the shoulders.
On his first documented case, the Calendar Man began committing a string of crimes based on the four seasons. Inevitably, this brought him into conflict with the Caped Crusaders Batman and Robin. Their encounter ended when Batman unmasked Julian who was disguised as an Indian magician (representing the "5th Season", Monsoon season).
Although captured, Calendar eventually returned to plague Gotham City, armed with a new costume and a new gang of henchmen. Batman defeated on at least two separate occasions before Julian joined the short-lived "Misfits" (a group of under-appreciated Batman foes).Powers and Abilities
Abilities
Successful inventor, capable of designing the machinery needed to deploy his various schemes.
Notes
- 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.
- Because his crimes are generally petty and often ridiculous in nature, he is notorious among both heroes and villains alike for being something of a joke.
