Charaxes

A genuinely unsettling corner of the DC Universe, Charaxes slithered onto the scene in Robin #24 in 1996, the creation of the acclaimed Chuck Dixon and Aaron Lopresti. This Modern Age menace carved out a niche in Gotham's rogues' gallery by sharing pages with Robin and Tim Drake, making the young hero's solo series the natural hunting ground for this creature's appearances. With only a handful of catalog appearances across a run stretching into the early 2000s, Charaxes is the kind of rare, cult-favorite villain that rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter — a genuinely strange beast lurking at the edges of Batman's world.
