Return
Grant Morrison reintroduces 2 Face 2 as a villain from Damian Wayne‘s time as Batman.
He comes to Damian’s attention after hiring Max Roboto to hack into Gotham’s climate control system and deploy a neurotoxic rain made of Joker venom. After foiling the plan, Damian interrogates Roboto who reveals 2 Face 2’s hideout in the Gotham sewers. On the way, he is attacked by police officers turned Monster Men.
2 Face 2 reveals that he has an infant Terry McGinnis infected with Joker Venom and an elderly Carter Nichols hostage, and wants the Joker’s jokebook, which had been left with Nichols years before and was recovered by Dick later. He had kidnapped Terry thinking he was the son of a software magnate instead of a pair of blue collar workers. Damian takes him down by dropping a machine on him, knocking him out and awakening 2 Face 2’s good side.
Gimmicks
2 Face 2 uses the tools and strategies of past Batman villains. His appearance and two silver dollars are from Two-Face, his alias January harkens back to the Calendar Man, and the Monster Serum infected cops are taken from Hugo Strange. When Damian says that he has no ideas of his own 2 Face 2 states, “I don’t invent. I innovate.”
Powers and Abilities
2 Face 2 is an above-average hand-to-hand combatant, and a gang lord, and controls a huge organization of illegal activity, and usually travels with bodyguards or with him. Much like the original Two-Face, he uses a coin to decide life-or-death situations. However, instead of having a split face, he has one regular face with a tumor-like second face growing from the sides of his head.
