Killer Moth is a villain in Lego Batman: The Video Game
Contents |
[edit] Character Background
Perhaps the most obscure of Batman's rogues in the game, Killer Moth was an unnamed criminal who adopted the pseudonym Cameron von Cleer, a millionaire who served as an anti-Batman. Walker adopted a garish costume, and developed his own line of gadgets, such as the "Mothmobile" and "Moth-Signal" to help criminals get away with their activities. He appeared as a frequent foe of the Dynamic Duo throughout the Silver Age, once even discovering Batman's secret identity as Bruce Wayne.
Later on in the mainstream DC continuity, he is mutated by the demon Neron into a humanoid moth creature dubbed "Charaxes".
[edit] In Lego Batman: The Video Game
Identified as Drury Walker in the game, Killer Moth joins The Joker in his madcap campaign to blow up Gotham Cathedral and spread his lethal laughing gas all over the city. He first appears at a card game with Mad Hatter and Scarecrow, the latter of whom is constantly impatient with his moth-like behavior (i.e. being attracted to light).
Later on, he accompanies Joker through the backstreets of Gotham to Gotham Cathedral. After defeating a brigade of policemen, the Joker runs to the cathedral, but Killer Moth is entranced by the searchlight mounted on the Batwing and stays behind to fight the Dynamic Duo. The three engage in a final battle inside a boarded-up building, where Batman and Robin distract him by lighting an enormous lightbulb and knock him out.
He is last seen inside his cell at Arkham, buzzing around the single lightbulb hanging from the ceiling.
[edit] Abilities and Equipment
Killer Moth's greatest power is his "flight suit", which allows him to fly short distances by flapping the "wings" on his back. His only offensive weapon is a handgun.
[edit] Appearance
In great contrast to his "opposite", Batman, Killer Moth's costume is brightly colored. In all other areas, however, it mimics the Dark Knight's appearance, with the cowl, chest insignia, and wings in place of Batman's cape.
