Crime Doctor

A prosperous Gotham City physician, Dr. Bradford Thorne turned to crime for the thrills and adventure. Although he truly loved medicine, crime was like a narcotic which Thorne could not resist. Establishing his "Crime Clinic" in a sub-basement beneath his home, Thorne offered Gotham's underworld a variety of services from hospitalization to criminal consultations – what he called "house calls" – for a cut of the profits. Though he was indeed a criminal, the Crime Doctor's motivation was not money, and almost all of his ill-gotten gains went to the charities of his choice.
