Chancer is a low-tier super-villain in Gotham City and enemy to Batman. He is a professional-criminal who seems to have almost nothing but good luck for his criminal operations that apparently stems from his, "Baton of Luck".
History[]
Origins[]
Chancer was a criminal from Texas who was wanted for 20 different robberies. He pulled these off thanks to his, "Baton of Luck" which apparently gave him supernatural luck powers.
In his criminal-career, Chancer framed a photographer named Dean Hunter of having murdered a security guard and his own wife (who Chancer had killed) and had the photographer sent to prison. Since then, Dean broke out of prison and stole a military invisibility suit to seek vengeance on the criminal who ruined his life under the alias of, Nimrod.
Batman[]
Chancer came to move to Gotham City where he joined a team of lower-tier villains known as The Misfits. This team was assembled by Killer Moth and included the likes of Catman and Calendar Man with their joined efforts aiding in their success (although Moth only truly cared about gaining recognition and notoriety to validate his fragile ego).
In Gotham, Chancer found himself being pursued by Nimrod albeit unknowing of his true identity or motives. During this same time, the Misfits were planning on breaking into a Wayne Foundation AIDS charity benefit to kidnap Bruce Wayne, Commissioner Gordon and Mayor Armand Krol to hold hostage in-return for 10 million dollars within a 5 hour window. The Misfits were somehow successful in their kidnapping albeit now being pursued by Robin in-addition to Nimrod.
Robin, Ace and Nimrod teamed up to save the hostages as the hostages (lead by Bruce Wayne) lead their own escape. When the villains were thwarted, Nimrod attempted to murder Chancer only for Batman to arrest them both and send them to prison with Nimrod falsely believing he'd be exonerated.
