History

Origin

Lester Buchinsky became the third Electrocutioner after his brother's death. He had the same powers as the previous ones and tangled with Batman, Robin and Nightwing. He was pretty lousy at first working with Cluemaster to pull a heist on an armored car filled with money but Cluemaster's own daughter Stephanie Brown also known as Spoiler stopped him. He then partnered with a giant brute who believes himself to be intelligent and frequently got in the way of his schemes. He seemed to have gotten past that stage and is now under the employ of Blockbuster in Blüdhaven.

Rise of Arsenal

He later worked as a pawn for Prometheus, planting the device that would level much of Star City. Green Arrow recognized his part in the destruction, and vowed to hunt him down and kill him. Green Arrow tracked him down, but Speedy had already found him. They beat him to a bloody pulp, but at the last minute Green Arrow realized it wasn't right to kill anyone. Electrocutioner was taken to jail. Once he awoke from his coma, Roy Harper vowed revenge. He broke into the jail and killed Electrocutioner, despite all of Green Arrow's protests.

During Gotham's great gang war, Buchinsky was hired by Penguin and used as a hired mercenary for gang leaders.^[1] A few days later, Electrocutioner was present in the massive criminal gathering at Robinson Park. Upon being double-crossed by Black Mask, Electrocutioner went out of the park and attacked various members of the GCPD.^[2]

Paraphernalia

Equipment

Electrocutioner Suit: Electrocutioner wore a suit with circuitry that let him generate electricity from his hands. Electrocutioner controlled the amount of electricity generated, and could stun or kill a target with it.
