O-Sensei

O-Sensei is a fictional character in the DC Comics Universe. He first appeared in Dragon's Fists, a novel by Dennis O'Neil and Jim Berry, later being incorporated into the comics beginning with Richard Dragon, Kung Fu Fighter #1 (May 1975).

In memory of him, the captain began training in martial arts and ancient disciplines, coming to train Bronze Tiger and Richard Dragon in the present day. Eventually, O-Sensei seeks the aid of Lady Shiva, Batman, Green Arrow, and the Question in returning to Japan to fulfill a vow to his late wife, only to be killed by a typhoon.

Ogre

Ogre is a DC Comics character who appeared in Batman #535 (October 1996), created by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones. Ogre is a genetically altered man, whose brother is a genetically experimented Ape created by Doctor Winston Belmont. The man, Michael Adams, was increased in strength and the Ape in intelligence. The project created by Belmont was Project Mirakle, a top secret government project at Atsugi, where there were tested spy planes, as well as experiments on humans in the late 1950s. These experiments were made to create the perfect human agent but when funding was excavated so were the subjects. Michael Adams, as 23rd human experiment, managed to escape after 22 previous deaths. The Ogre tracked and murdered the scientists who collaborated with the project, only to be tracked by Batman himself. In the end, the Ape died and the Ogre wandered amidst the city alone in a story analogous to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

Ogre in other media

• A variation of Ogre appears in Gotham, portrayed by Milo Ventimiglia. This version is Jason Skolimski (also known as Jason Lennon), the son of Jacob Skolimski, a butler who worked for rich woman Constance van Groot; and an unnamed mother who left the family, leaving Jason to believe that Groot is his mother. However, she rejected him and in his rage he killed her, taking her money and repairing his disfigured face with plastic surgery from a nurse, Julie Kemble, who became his first murder victim. Over the next decade, he became a serial killer targeting young and attractive successful women, kidnapping and keeping them for weeks or months and later murdering and dumping them in various places of Gotham, leaving behind a hand-made drawing of a broken heart. The GCPD keeps very quiet about the case, not even telling the press about his killings, and usually lets the cases slip by because whenever Skolimski finds out his murders are being investigated, he goes after the loved ones of the detectives handling them. For those reasons, he is called the "Ogre" and "Don Juan Killer" (according to Harvey Bullock), and the Ogre is said to be a handsome, rich, and educated man in his profile. Through the episodes "Beasts of Prey", "Under the Knife" and "The Anvil or the Hammer", Gordon and Bullock try to stop him from committing further crimes. During that time, Skolimski encounters Gordon's ex, Barbara Kean, and subsequently bounds her in a torture room, where he forces her to commit a murder. Gordon and Bullock find him in Barbara's parents' mansion, shoot him and save Barbara, albeit in shaken psychological state.
