Supervillain Origins: Black Mask

Roman Sionis was once the son of a wealthy Gotham family that made its fortune creating cosmetic products. However, his parents didn't care for wealth; instead they were preoccupied with their status among Gotham City's elite. Because of this, they cozied themselves with the likes of the Wayne family, and forced Roman to befriend their son Bruce. Enraged, he burned his parents to death in a fire and inherited the Janus Cosmetics Corporation. Forced to resign after a buyout by Wayne Industries, he swore vengeance on Bruce Wayne, and carved himself a mask from his father's coffin.
