Hugo Strange (Earth-2331)

Professor Hugo Strange was one of the scientists of the Ultron Project. He is first seen in the closing days of the Cold War, discovering journals of Ra's al Ghul. Later, he has Bruce Wayne captured and laces his bones with Adamantium.

Early Life
In 1956, John Parker and his troops enter a camp which the invaders have just freed. Parker orders his men to search the camp. After a while, he grows impatient and starts to look for a civilian named Hugo. Some soldiers goofing off tell Parker that they call him "the Professor" nowadays and he's in the main building of the camp. John finds him and starts yelling at the Professor, who explains he was admiring the camp’s architecture. John doesn't care and orders the Professor to take two soldiers with him and search deeper into the building.

The Professor reluctantly does as told, arguing with the soldiers as they go deeper. They find a complete lab, where something obviously has gone wrong. The Professor is fascinated but the two soldiers are apathetic, though one does compare it to "Frankenstein’s laboratory". The Professor tells them to leave, he'll search the lab himself. Strange finds journals detailing the experiments of a Henri Ducard (a disguise of Ra's al Ghul). The files the Professor holds contain information about Bruce Wayne and Thomas Elliot, peaking Hugo’s interest.
