Who is Kite Man?

Kite Man is a minor DC villain whose gimmick revolves around kite-based technology and aerial crime. Operating primarily in Gotham's underworld, he has tangled with Batman and other heroes despite his reputation as one of the city's more eccentric, low-tier criminals.

Hell yeah he does β€” Kite Man has been quietly soaring through the DC Universe since his Copper Age debut in Hawkman #4 (1986), courtesy of the legendary Denny O'Neil. Over nearly four decades he's migrated from obscurity into the orbit of Gotham's finest, sharing pages with Batman, Bruce Wayne, Catwoman, and Selina Kyle across titles like Batman and Titans United. He may not boast the longest rap sheet in the catalog, but there's something undeniably charming about a character who's endured this long on the fringes of DC's most celebrated corners β€” a cult favorite whose staying power speaks for itself.
