Two Face/Harvey Dent
Harvey had newly won his position of District Attorney. He based his platform around dealing with what he called the city's growing "Mask and Cape Crisis".

These cables allow him to "plug" into a person and hijack their minds. Once in control of a person, Cypher is able to manipulate them, forcing them to follow or even fight for him. On his own, Cypher doesn't seem to be that strong of a fighter, preferring to let his captives fight for him. He has a slender build and is extremely agile and flexible. His suit allows him to adhere to walls and ceilings. Cypher's control is both his greatest weapon and his greatest weakness. While in control of a person, he feels everything that they do.
Deathstroke/Slade Wilson
