Origin
No longer challenged by the sport of big-game hunting Thomas Blake retired to Gotham City.  While at an elite social club, Blake was conversing with Bruce Wayne, when a fellow member jokingly suggested that the two should emulate Batman and become crimefighters.

Intrigued by the challenge, Blake instead used his expertise to challenge Batman and revive the thrill of the hunt.  Donning a costume fashioned from the cloth that had swaddled a primitive cat fetish, Blake believed that he was endowed with nine lives.

Using his mastery over large cats and creating an arsenal of cat-inspired weapons, Blake set forth on his criminal career as Cat-Man.
