Origin

Jonathan Mills was once a war hero and federal agent, but on a fateful night, where he escaped a car wreck in what can only be described a miracle, he survived only to watch his wife and children burn in the fire. Mills snapped, trying to to jump back into the fire so he could die with his family, but was stopped by the paramedics on the scene. Sometime later, he returns to Gotham City to enact his twisted sense of retribution, by killing those who had also miraculously escaped death.
