Who is Stalker?

Stalker was once a normal hunter in Africa until he was mauled by a black panther. He then had to have his spine repaired, which gave him enhanced senses, super strength, and agility. He found that these enhancements made hunting animals too easy and sought out more dangerous foes. With that in mind, he set his sights on Terry McGinnis (Batman). He lured Batman into a trap by using Terry's brother Matt as bait. They fought fiercely, but Batman came up the victor and Stalker was assumed dead after being struck by a bullet train. As it turns out, Stalker did survive his encounter with the bullet train. It seems that Stalker may have had connections to Kobra's leading geneticist Dr.
