Carmine Falcone's Thugs were men working for Carmine Falcone.
History[]
Carmine Falcone and his thugs had half of Gotham City bought and paid for, with numerous politicians and police officers on their payroll. They mostly operated out of Falcone's Bar.
Falcone had a female assassin kill his former cellmate Joe Chill after his trial, as Chill was gonna testify against him. Bruce Wayne was angered by this, as he wanted to kill Chill for the murder of his parents, and he confronted Falcone at his bar. Falcone berated Wayne for thinking he knew the ugly side of life, and had his men beat up Wayne and throw him out.
Sometime over the next 7 years, Falcone and his thugs entered a drug distribution deal with Jonathan Crane and his mysterious benefactor Ra's Al Ghul. During this deal, Crane agreed to use his status as the Warden of Arkham Asylum to have Falcone's men falsely declared insane so they could avoid jail time.
During the final shipment, Falcone's thugs were attacked by the Batman, who incapacitated them all, including Falcone. Falcone and his thugs were then arrested.
After Falcone's mental decline from being injected with Crane's fear toxin, Sal Maroni took over the Falcone Family, and all of Falcone's remaining thugs joined up with him.
