Character Bio - As the standing psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum, Hugo Strange has learned a lot about the insane criminal minds of Gotham. As he has studied each case, he has found one consistent element that has plagued each patient: Batman. Intrigued by this masked vigilante, Hugo has studied all that he can about the tactics, habits, and even identity of the caped crusader, to the point where he has discovered his true identity: Bruce Wayne. With this knowledge, Hugo has developed a bit of an obsession in toying with Batman, even to the point of losing his own mind and dressing up like him. Hugo's position in Gotham's society makes him one of the most dangerous opponent's and his knowledge of psychiatry allows him to even manipulate the actions of the insane. In his experiments with narcotics on insane patients, Hugo has developed a drug that grants them peak levels of Human physical fitness, and a drive to kill.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Q - Can I choose Hugo to be affected by Mutagenic Experiment?
  A - Yes. Also, while the affects last through the round, even though his special powers are negated, he is still affected by Mutagenic Experiment, because it is an affect that lasts all round and was triggered before it was negated.
• Q:Can Harley Quinn take a turn after Hugo Strange if he uses Insane Provocation? Harley's card says "after taking a turn" and Insane Provocation says "instead of taking a turn with Hugo Strange".
• A:No. The “instead of taking a turn with Hugo Strange” inclusion in his Insane Provocation power means just that, you are substituting that action for his turn. So powers that say “after taking a turn with..” can't be used after Hugo Strange uses Insane Provocation because he didn't take a turn.
