Fictional character biography

Charles "Chuck" Brown is a man who armed himself with kite weapons to be used to commit crimes. He flies with a big kite strapped to him. He also uses a barrage of kites to overwhelm his enemies. He ran afoul of Batman, Robin, Hawkman, and Hawkgirl on different occasions.

Kite Man also appears in later issues of "Young Justice" living in the country of Zandia, a country populated entirely by super villains.

In "Infinite Crisis", Joker reports that Brown was thrown off Wayne Tower without his kite by Deathstroke, after his refusal to join the new Secret Society of Super Villains.

Brown, however, survived his fall and reached some low rank in post-crisis Gotham City's underworld in the pages of 52. He is one of several criminals, including Mirage, beaten to death and eaten by Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim during Intergang's continuing rise to power in Gotham City and across the world outlined in that series. Far from his most humiliating defeat, Kite Man was once seen defeated by accident when, in the middle of a brawl, Batman drew his fist back to punch a nameless and comatose thug of Two-Face he deemed more of a threat. Kite Man was struck by Batman's fist and fell unconscious to the floor of Gotham Hospital, unnoticed by the Dark Knight.

In other media

Kite Man will appear in the upcoming animated series "". He appears in the new trailer, with his jewelry heist stopped by Batman.
