Monitor Armor: At some point, Duke stole armor that allowed him to traverse the multiverse.Power Instability: He has little control over his visions, and without wearing power-repressing goggles it can be difficult for him to see the present at all.

DEATHMETAL THOMAS SKIN
In the multiverse's last moments, Duke crafted the Dragon's skin into a new armor, and took Nightwing's Parall-Axe. Duke cut the tethers between Batman and the rest of his new body, killing him, leaving Duke as the last being alive while the Deathwave collapsed around him. Despite the Dragon's incredible power, Duke managed to survive its attacks long enough to teleport inside it, where Batman's original body laid dormant. Duke's teammates gave their lives to stop the monstrous army, leaving him alone to battle his former teacher, now a monster called the Dragon of the End. Despite knowing the Deathwave was coming, Duke gathered the heroes into a new Justice League, hoping for one final victory for good, before the end of everything.Īfter freeing a dragon of their own from the Batman Who Laughs, the Justice League faced off against the Dragons of the Bat. Duke followed Nightwing back to his lair in the Justice League Watchtower, where the world's last heroes, like Hawkgirl and The Flash hid. He attempted to fight them, but would have lost had his old friend Nightwing not saved him. When he arrived on "Earth-Metal", Duke encountered his former teacher and his monstrous allies. When the 51st world collapsed, Duke, now called the "Last Monitor", had nowhere to go but back to his home. During this time, he discovered his powers to see visions of the past, and stole armor that allowed him to more freely traverse these worlds. Knowing his own world was without saving, Duke decided to flee into the multiverse, hoping to save at least one world from Barbatos's "Deathwave".įor two years, Duke outran the wave, doing everything he could to stop the wave or save the other 51 worlds, failing all the same. As Barbatos turned Batman into his vessel and the Justice League into his dragons, Duke watched his world collapse around him. He would be the final pupil of Batman, however, as the hero was used by the dark dragon Barbatos as an entry point into the multiverse. Duke Thomas was once a sidekick to Batman, training under him to become a protector of Gotham City.
