Electrocutioner

Electrocutioner's History

Lester Buchinsky was an egotistical street punk of limited intelligence and resourcefulness who was eager to make money and a name for himself as The Electrocutioner, among Gotham City's criminal underworld after losing in an underground pit fight. Lester used powerful Shock Gloves that he had created to appropriately electrocute his opponents to death. When he felt like being sadistic, Lester would send his victims into cardiac arrest, only to mockingly defibulate them and kill them once more.

Two years after the appearance of Batman, Lester was contracted by "Black Mask" along with seven other rouges to take part in Christmas Eve competition for $50,000,000. The objective was to kill Batman, thus gain fame for proving that he existed and for being the one to kill him.

After failing, he attended a meeting with the other assassins, and learned that Black Mask was being impersonated by The Joker. He was promptly murdered by Joker, who felt he had nothing more to contribute.
