Arthur Brown (Earth-Prime)

"You're stumped!"

- Arthur Brown's catchphrase

Arthur Brown is the former host of Quiz Bowl and the criminal known as Cluemaster.

Murder Spree
At some point before 2016, Arthur Brown became the host of Quiz Bowl and gave birth to Stephanie Brown, whom he nicknamed as "Pointer". Later, Brown started getting furious as the contestants of his show "dumbed down" questions, causing him to be fired and started a murder spree.

In 2016, Brown was arrested by Sophie Moore and accused of 13 life sentences. Brown was then incarcerated at Blackgate Penitentiary and was approached by Moore, who was questioned of the reason she outsmarted Brown. He later spent his sentence plotting his escape and revenge on Sophie Moore.

I'll Give You a Clue
In 2021, Brown murdered a guard and escaped, leaving the message "I'll give you a clue I want more". Brown soon approached his daughter and hoped that she would join his revenge. She refused and Brown knocked her unconscious, carving crypto-messages on her body and locking her in a box of poisonous gas, with it only being able to be opened through gun shots. Without his daughter's assistance, Brown proceeded his plan and poisoned Moore with a puss caterpillar alongside a clue for their pursuit. Ryan Wilder was then able to reveal an emblem after deducing the use of "hot shot" in Brown's clue.

Moore, Wilder and Mary Hamilton then rescued Stephanie from the box, using her relation to Brown and located his whereabouts. Unbeknownst, they fell into Brown's trap, and he activated a series of questions regarding the criminals of Gotham. His plan later fell when Wilder and Hamilton escaped using a zip line baton. With Stephanie deciphering the true whereabouts of Brown, Brown greeted his daughter at their old house and discovered that it was her who turned him over five years ago. He was furious and locked themselves in a car, releasing a series of poisonous gas until Luke Fox rescued them from death. He was then sent back to Blackgate once more and continued his sentence.
