History
Back in his formative years before becoming Batman, Bruce Wayne was exploring Xinjiang province in western China, and discovered Waiguo, a village that had been massacred by a warlord named The Huairen and his army. Wayne tracked down Huairen to a fortified compound in the mountains and then proceeded to battle Huairen in unarmed combat. Though he was able to provide Huairen with a bit of a challenge, the unexperienced Wayne was defeated. Rather than kill Wayne, Huairen decided to take him under his wing so that the two could be equals.
Huairen decide to test Wayne’s loyalty and brought forth a woman for him to execute. With a sword in his hand, Wayne decided to attack Huairen but again was unable to best his nemesis.The second confrontation ended with Huairen putting a sword through Wayne’s chest and tossing his body into a fire. Moments later, the Chinese super team the Zhuguan arrived to try and defeat Huairen. While three of the team’s members battled Huairen and his soldiers, Ri, the team’s healer, pulled Wayne from the fire and brought him back to life. During the battle, Huairen killed Sudu by putting his hand through the speedsters chest. With Ri already incapacitated from reviving Wayne, the Zhuguan were forced to retreat.
Some time later, the Zhuguan, aided by a now super powered Bruce Wayne, attacked Huairen and his men. During the battle all of Huairen’s men were killed and Wayne put a sword through Huairen’s chest. However, Wayne would not allow Huairen to die and ensured that he was brought to Chinese authorities and held responsible for his crimes.
Powers
The exact nature of Huairen’s powers are unknown. A capable fighter in his own right, it is not clear whether his skills were natural.
Huairen seemed unphased by numerous arrows shot into his torso but was incapacitated and almost killed by a sword through the chest.
