Richard Swift (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)

"I deal in things both old and curious, as a collector. And one of my many passions is magic. Stage magic, that is."

- Richard Swift

Richard Swift is the criminal known as The Shade and a former member of the Injustice Society of America.

Injustice Society of America
At some point, Richard Swift became an immortal criminal and a member of the Injustice Society of America under the alias, The Shade.

On December 24, 2010, the Injustice Society lured their arch-enemies, the Justice Society of America, into a battle at an abandoned mansion. During the battle, The Shade dragged away and killed Dr. Mid-Nite, which was witnessed by Stripesy. He later betrayed Icicle and the Injustice Society.

Ten Years Later
"Oh, Jordan, I told you it was folly."

- The Shade

In December 2020, Swift returned to the Injustice Society's headquarters after the failure of Project: New America. He exclaimed that he told Jordan that their plan was folly before conjuring black smoke which covered the faces of the rest of the ISA members and eventually his own.
