History
Otis Flannegan used to work as a ratcatcher for the Gotham City Sanitation Department and always claimed he could train rats to attack. Flannegan was eventually arrested and spent ten years in prison after he stabbed a man to death in a street brawl. Upon his release from the Gotham State Penitentiary, Flannegan abducted the four officials responsible for his arrest and subsequent sentence.
