Character History
Martin was beaten and sexually abused by his unloving father from an early age, which made Mad Dog go crazy. One day, he saw visions of the Virgin Mary who told him to go out and kill women, destroying their faces and sexual organs in order to "stop the dirty sluts from spreading their disease". He'd also cut himself in order to feel something.
He killed many women before he was finally caught and sentenced to stay in the State Psychiatric Hospital in Metropolis. Once there, he was treated by Amadeus Arkham.
When Amadeus went back to Gotham and set up Arkham Asylum, he went back home one April 1st to find that Mad Dog had broken into his house, had murdered his wife and had sexual abused his daughter before decapitating her and putting her head in a dolls house. This was one of the factors which turned Amadeus mad.
Mad Dog was captured again and sentenced to Arkham, where he took great pleasure in taunting Amadeus by calling his daughter a slut and telling him about the murder. Amadeus listened to the taunts and took them in his stride, until the anniversary of the murder where he strapped Mad Dog to a table and electrocuted the man to death. His death was treated as an accident.
