Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Karl Rossum

A brilliant man broken by trauma, Karl Rossum was the preeminent mind in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence.  He founded the vastly successful robotics firm, Cybertron.  Rossum briefly acted as a mentor to a young Bruce Wayne, teaching Bruce all there was to know about electrical engineering.  

Rossum went into semi-retirement after his daughter was killed in a car accident. In his grief, Rossum thought of making a ‘perfect’ world populated by androids instead of humans, where such traumatic deaths would never happen. To that end, Rossum resumed active leadership of Cybertron and designed and built H.A.R.D.A.C., a prototype artificial intelligence capable of producing androids that could impersonate living people.

Near completion of his vision, Rossum realized that what he was doing was wrong, that life was only meaningful in that it is finite and delicate.  Unfortunately, by know the intelligence of H.A.R.D.A.C. had gained sentience and was now beyond Rossum’s capacity to control it.  He tried to shut H.A.R.D.A.C. down but was incapacitated and imprisoned, replaced with an exact duplicate.  H.A.R.D.A.C. additionally created duplicates of Mayor Hill and Commissioner Gordon as a preemptive measure to ensure the completion of its task.

Batman was ultimately able to put an end to the H.A.R.D.A.C.’s scheme, causing an explosion that destroyed the supercomputer and all of its duplicates.  Possum retired to a farm where he spent the remainder of his days working on small and harmless robotic toys.  He would later assist Batman and Robin in foiling the schemes of Grant Walker.
