Biography

Onomatopoeia first appears where he murders a female crime-fighter named Virago, after telling her his name. Later, he shoots Connor Hawke, the second Green Arrow, who is saved by his father Oliver Queen (the first and original Green Arrow). While Connor is undergoing surgery in the hospital, Onomatopoeia returns to finish the job. He kills several doctors in the operating room, and after his attempt to kill Connor is foiled by Queen and Black Canary, he manages to escape. He is later recruited by Alexander Luthor, Jr.'s Secret Society of Super Villains as part of an army that is sent to conquer the city of Metropolis. An army of superheroes, backed up by the National Guard, successfully opposes the Society. Onomatopoeia is seen in a brawl with the Odd Man, a costumed, un-powered vigilante. Onomatopoeia later frees the Joker from Arkham Asylum and gives him money to finance a gang war against Maxie Zeus. Eventually he confronts Batman, who defeats him. He escapes capture, however, by mortally wounding the Joker, forcing Batman to choose between saving the Joker's life and capturing his new opponent. It is later revealed that Onomatopoeia has a secret, seemingly normal life as a loving husband and the father of two children, who are unaware of his murderous activities. He explains his occasional injuries as the result of sporting activities such as tennis, polo, and hunting. He keeps mementos of his victories in a hidden shrine behind a bookcase, saving a case each for Batman and Green Arrow.

Biography

Onomatopoeia later takes the disguise of "Baphomet", a new vigilante who had been teaming up with Batman. He appears as Baphomet early on, helping the Dark Knight defeat Etrigan the Demon and Poison Ivy. He later assists Batman in defeating villains such as Deadshot, Crazy Quilt, and Calendar Man, even unmasking himself in front of Batman to gain his trust (as Batman had no idea what Onomatopoeia actually looked like this did not reveal the ruse). Batman then takes Baphomet into the Batcave and introduces him to a disguised Silver St. Cloud before Batman reveals he is Bruce Wayne and Silver unmasks herself. Bruce invites Baphomet to stay for breakfast as he turns away and puts his utility belt on the table with a "KA-KLAK". He hears Baphomet repeating the sound before turning in horror to see Onomatopoeia midway through slicing Silver's throat and mimicking the noise of the blade.

Onomatopoeia MBTI

Onomatopoeia is most commonly typed as INTP (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving). This suggests Onomatopoeia is Analytical, Individualistic, Truth-seeking and Flexible. As an INTP, Onomatopoeia likely relies on cognitive functions like Introverted Thinking (Ti) and Extraverted Intuition (Ne). This unique combination of cognitive functions influences how Onomatopoeia processes information, makes decisions, and interacts with the world. These traits might manifest in Onomatopoeia's approach to problem-solving, communication style, and personal relationships.

Onomatopoeia is a severely underused and misused villain by DC

For those of you who don't know, Onomatopoeia is a DC villain who is primarily a rogue of Green Arrow and occasionally Batman, his schtick is that he is a serial killer who targets and kills non powered superheroes (He has killed 9 heroes so far) and he mimics the sounds around him using onomatopoeia like his name suggests. In his first appearance he kills a new hero called Virago without even trying, and in his debut story arc he puts Connor Hawk in a critical condition, and almost finished the job if it weren't for intervention. I am mixed about his use in Batman, it was cool how he pretended to be a new vigilante, but the over all story arc was like a C- to me. DC demoted him just to be a side villain but they are wasting on openings and stuff, he has the potential to be even better than Deathstroke if they play their cards right, like they should have him slowly moving from non-powered heroes to low level metahumans to eventually higher characters. They could also have him start slowly upgrading his weapons on the side to deal with more powerful characters, perhaps he has a coupe of heists were he tries to get supplies to build these weapons or something like that. I just feel it's a shame that they are not using him more and in a more appropriate manner.
