Origin His true identity unknown, Steeljacket is a horrific product of genetic manipulation to create a human/bird hybrid. Lightweight, brittle, hollow bones forced the formerly high-flying raptor to don protective metal armor. Though his wings were amputated, along with other injuries sustained in an aerial battle with Robin, his claws remain as sharp and deadly as ever. Major Story Arcs Batman vs. Wildcat Ted Grant meets with a local snitch named Flea Fitzgerald because he has heard about an underground fight club called the "The Secret Ring" in Gotham and a Wildcat wannabee was reported dead nearby. On the other side of Gotham, Bruce is made aware of this fight club thanks to his golfing rival Devlin.
