James Howlett (Earth-78)

"For three years I wanted to kill you. There wasn't one single day were I didn't sleep without thinking on how I could kill and brutalize him. And now that it's time to do it I'm hesitating... but why?"

- - James Howlett to Dennis Carradine

James "Jim" Howlett was a construction worker, the husband of Claire Howlett and father of Laura and Mark Howlett. When his son was killed in a car accident by Dennis Carradine, James spent the rest of his years hunting him down to no avail. However, he, alongside Claire, fell victim to the Joker, who used Claire to perform a surgery on his brain while James chose to save or kill the people who had something to do with the death of his son and the sentence of Carradine.
