Charlie Bullock grew up in the streets of Gotham City, searching for a direction in life. During his mid-teens, he met Ted Grant (aka Wildcat), and the two squared off and subdued some street punks. Ted invited Charlie to join him at his new gym, as he would become his unofficial mentor. This greatly impressed young Charlie, along with seeing in his early years the exploits of Gotham's
most famous crime fighter, Batman.
These positive influences led Charlie to give his life purpose. Attending law school, he was soon accepted as a junior staff member to the law firm of Cranston, Grayson and Wayne. Here he met Helena Wayne and, ultimately, came into contact with the Huntress. When the criminal named Karnage broke into the office, looking for Charlie's boss Arthur Cranston, this motivated him to pursue even loftier goals. When a shop keeper that Charlie knew was attacked by gang members of the crime boss named the Boa, Charlie proceeded to make a costume, utility belt, and a whole new life as the costumed crusader known as Blackwing!
Unfortunately, his first case proved unsuccessful (as depicted below), as he was taken captive by the Boa's gang. However, he later freed the Huntress from the deadly embrace of one of Boa's slinky pets, and had produced evidence that could be used against the Boa and his men. Later, it was revealed the Blackwing continued in his crime fighting activities in the Huntress' absence.
Blackwing Has Not Appeared In Any Other Form Of Batman Media.
