Crazy-Quilt: a colorful villain!

Crazy-Quilt[SIZE=1] (sometimes "Crazy Quilt" without the hyphen) [/SIZE]first appeared in [B][I]Boy Commandos #15[/I][/B] (May-June 1946):

After tangling a few more times with the Boy Commandos, Crazy-Quilt encountered Robin in [B][I]Star Spangled Comics #123[/I][/B] (December 1951):

And in [B][I]Batman #316[/I][/B] (October 1979), he finally met up with Batman himself.

This is another ridiculous (at best) D-list villain from yesteryear that I have a massive soft spot for.

I would probably have first seen him in a UK reprint of Batman #316* and I remembered the look and power for years until I started collecting properly. Batman #316 and #368 are still a fun read.

There's a cute scene in Johns' Flash run (Wally) where Robin is showing Kid Flash a shelf of trophies from his own rogue's gallery, and Crazy Quilt's helmet is there. That made me laugh.

I might be wrong but I seem to recall him being eaten by Charaxes during a prison riot in Morrison's JLA? The less said about the Endgame cameo the better.

*I think I still have a reprint of Batman #309, the Blockbuster Xmas issue which always stuck with me.

My favorite thing about Crazy Quilt is that he began as a foe of the [COLOR="#000080"]Boy Commandos[/COLOR]...and became a Robin foe.

I wish more Golden Age villains had been rescued like he was. :(

Has he tangoed with Nightwing at all?

It’s a quilt of colors.

[QUOTE=Coco Loco;6014186]It’s a quilt of colors.[/QUOTE][SIZE=1]Just like Dolly Parton's "[I][FONT=Tahoma]Coat of Many Colors[/FONT][/I] " . . . [/SIZE]

Crazy Quilt had an excellent appearance on B:TB&TB.
The opener was inspired by Batman #316.

Crazy Quilt would have been great in the new Batman movie, add some color to the movie. Not just shades of grey.
