Terminus who has one of the shadiest villain back stories in the Batman & Robin comic book. His hatred for Batman was huge, but his reasons and his explanations were vague. Terminus could have had a better back story or a cool revelation in the end that would have satisfied the storytelling of this villain. Those are one of the weaknesses for Terminus. The fact that he knew when he was going to die made him more dangerous and vengeful. It was good concept to Terminus that had a lot of potential to be a cool villain in the end.

Patrick Gleason (artist) released more his sketches of Terminus’ story arc in Batman & Robin. It was a little odd how Terminus was linked to Poison Ivy found in Gleason’s blogspot. Here’s what Gleason had to say about Terminus:

TERMINUS. The villain who knows the time of his death down to the second. Proved a little more challenging, since we start off seeing him as an old, decrepit man. Held up by Braces (Right). Then we se him rejuvenated with a somewhat bulkier brace/bolt system. This brace had to be bigger to accommodate his final metamorphosis and armor (Center).

Here you can see that TERMINUS briefly became POISON MARVIN, Poison Ivy’s lesser known brother ( But polling data showed that the readers weren’t ready for this yet. He was reverted back to his current form 🙂 (Left).
