Bertram Larvan

[edit]

Bertram Larvan was an inventor who designed a mechanical insect to control insect pests. However, he had no financial backing to support his invention and resolved to steal the money he needed. Larvan created an army of mechanical insects, including stag beetles who could bite through steel and spiders with webs that could support the weight of a man. Bertram took the name of theBug-Eyed Bandit. He was thwarted by theAtom.[2]

Larvan later accidentally discovers the Atom's identity of Ray Palmer and battles him on several occasions. He attempts to use amnesia-inducing gas on Palmer, but accidentally affects himself and is rendered amnesiac for years. During theCrisis on Infinite Earths, millions of Shadow Demons, servants of theAnti-Monitor, attack Earth, with Larvan being among the casualties.[3]

Following his death, Larvan does not appear for many years. InBlackest Night, he is temporarily resurrected as aBlack Lantern.[4] He is later permanently resurrected following theDC Rebirth relaunch.[5][6]
