[edit] History
At one point, Boomerang was evidently convicted and incarcerated for his crimes, and elected to join Task Force X in return for amnesty.
Having managed to gain early release from Task Force X, Boomerang returned to Central City shortly before the Flash Museum's dedication. He soon chose to join forces with three other Flash foes to take revenge on the Scarlet Speedster. After Mirror Master's attempt to kill Flash failed, Boomerang attacked the hero with multiple exploding boomerangs. Then, he had a large boomerang strap on to Flash and attempted to have him crash into a mountain, but his attempt also failed. Later, Captain Boomerang and the other villains tried to ambush Flash at the museum opening. Boomerang was defeated though and taken into custody.
[edit] Abilities and weaponry
Captain Boomerang, as his name implied, was an expert with the aboriginal weapon and employed a varied arsenal of specialized boomerangs in his crimes.
[edit] Background Information
Captain Boomerang is "Digger" Harkness, an Australian hired as a boomerang promoter by a toy company owned by his biological father. After being ridiculed by the audience, an angry Harkness used his boomerang skills in crimes. Captain Boomerang was recently killed during the Identity Crisis stroyline (at the same time killing his killer, Jack Drake, Robin's father) and was succeeded by his son, Owen Mercer.
