Captain Boomerang

Biography
A native of Australia, George “Digger” Harkness was sent as a young adult to the U.S. by his mother, who was desperate to get her son away from his stepfather. He took a job demonstrating boomerangs for the Wiggins Game Company. Harkness, who had become an expert from years of throwing the wooden device as a kid, was given a uniform and the name Captain Boomerang. While demonstrating the boomerang to kids, Harkness liked to line his pockets with a spot of pilfering. This brought him into conflict with the Flash, whom Harkness opposed as Captain Boomerang with a variety of ever more bizarre boomerang gadgets.

For a time, Captain Boomerang served on the government-sponsored Task Force X squad. However, after the dispersal of Project Cadmus, Harkness got out of jail early and reinstated himself as a villain of the Flash’s rogues gallery.
