Biography[]

David and his friends Justin and Amber created dissolvable DNA mutagen patches derived from Dr. Langstrom's Man-Bat formula with a few modifications to turn themselves into human-animal hybrids known as the Terrible Trio to terrorize the more popular students at their university. They are first seen attacking some students at a beach party, though none of them end up seriously hurt. They are merely scared away by the presence of the trio.

Later, after David is bullied by his jock roommate, Jake, he, Amber, and Justin ambush him in the gym, with Amber slashing him in the face, and David chomping at him and scaring him into a weight room before then forcing a patch onto him, making him turn into a therianthrophic gorilla. David then has to briefly fight Batgirl, while Amber and Justin have to deal with Batman. Ultimately, the three of them escape when Jake transforms and goes mad, attacking Batman and Batgirl, though the two heroes are able to subdue him until he returns to normal.

After this incident, Jake lands in the hospital, leaving David to have their dorm all to himself. He, Amber, and Justin delight in Jake's fate, while Barbara Gordon chastises them for finding it funny that Jake was almost seriously hurt. Although she agrees with Amber that he was a huge jerk, she rightly tells her, David, and Justin that he didn't deserve to nearly die. However, she is given a chilling warning from Amber: "People tend to get exactly what they deserve, sunshine. Maybe you will, too." After leaving the trio, she finds something Amber had unknowingly left on the floor outside of David's dorm room door: a vulture feather, which she takes to have analyzed in the Batcave. It takes her not long at all to find a match to Amber and realize that she, David, and Justin are the Terrible Trio, which is good, since Bruce Wayne returns with an antidote to the mutagen, provided by Langstrom himself.

Meanwhile, upon learning that the university president will be conducting blood tests on the students to determine who has been abusing mutagenic chemicals, David, Amber, and Justin are sent into a panic. If they take the test, they'll be found out. If they try to avoid the test, they'll be found out, anyway. That is when David hatches a plan to keep their cover: give every student the mutagen, if only temporarily, to keep themselves protected.

The next night, David and Amber build a device that will release the mutagen on a bunch of spectators who would be watching a football game. However, they are alerted by Justin that Batman and Batgirl have infiltrated the university and are searching for them. To buy some time, the trio ambushes the heroes, and the brief battle that ensues ends with Batman and Batgirl being locked in a cage intended for larger laboratory animals, with Justin biting the lock mechanism to prevent their escape. Now their prisoners, Batman and Batgirl are forced to listen to David regale them with how much he'd looked up to Batman when he first saw him, thinking that he could do what he wanted while answering to no one. Batman tells him that while he saw him, he certainly didn't understand him. David counters that he understands now. He calls him a sellout and "a flunky for the cops." He then takes offense when Batman calls him a "cheap circus act." Still, David calms down long enough to tell Batman and Batgirl his plan to turn everyone into therianthropes, but then tells them that they won't live to see it before knocking over a tank of six poisonous snakes and leaving them to kill the two heroes.

However, Batman and Batgirl escape from their demise and catch up with the villains as they are about to take their device to where they plan on activating it. They then fight them all over again, and Batman manages to use the antidote on Justin, returning him to normal long enough for campus security to apprehend him. Batgirl then manages to turn the tables on Amber and use the antidote on her, likewise returning her to normal. Seeing herself powerless, Amber tries to run, only to be knocked out and defeated by Batgirl. That only leaves David, but he destroys the last vial of antidote the heroes have, grinning wickedly as he does so. Batman then decides to destroy the device he is planning on using on the other students, but in his desperation to save it, David runs to it, only to get tripped by Batman and fall into the chemicals, which mutates him even farther, much to both Batman and Batgirl's horror, into a gigantic griffin. After a long, hard battle, Batman and Batgirl defeat David's griffin form and save the students. David, Amber, and Justin are then arrested and expelled from Gotham University.

Following this, David and Justin are last seen cowering from a pair of larger inmates in a men's prison cafeteria. It is assumed that Amber was sent to a women's prison.
