History: Scratch was intelligent but ignored growing up because he was fat, clumsy and quiet. He studied astronomy in college and caught a glimpse of light from a distant solar system. The light was encoded with a message that transformed his mind and body. By age 24 he was a fabulously wealthy rock star and a consultant to powerful men the world over. He assembled a private army, surgically enhanced them to resemble devils, and set his sights on conquering Gotham City. He persuaded the American government to quarantine Gotham after a devastating earthquake and began to set up shop. Scratch's organization was dismantled by Azrael, who also publicly defeated him in combat and drove Scratch into hiding.
