#15 - The Eraser

First Appearance - Batman #188 (December 1966)

Lenny Fiasco was a college classmate of Bruce Wayne (Batman), and was continually mocked by his fellow students for all the mistakes he made in class. The few people who remembered Lenny always pictured him with eraser in hand, correcting his mistakes. The only girl Lenny ever wanted was Celia Smith, and he planned to take her to the school's ice carnival. Lenny was crushed when she chose to go with Bruce Wayne. Feeling quite bitter he turned to a life of crime, developing an eraser costume that could eliminate all evidence from a crime scene. He took out advertisements as the Eraser in The Secret Underground, a periodical aimed at Gotham City's small-time criminals. He did a commendable job, and the police were baffled at the lack of clues at a series of bank robberies.
