Biography
Early Life
Deegan was born and raised in Gotham City and gained degrees of psychometrics. Later, he became a psychiatrist and worked at the Arkham Aslyum. He later used excessive measures including torture and experiments on his patients. However, he was able to escape from legal actions but his medical license was eventually revoked in 2013 as well as being fired from the medical board.[3]
Due to his inability to perform medical procedures, he became a professor at The American Psychiatric Consortium.[2]
Gaining the Book of Destiny
In 2018, Deegan gave a presentation about how experiments can turn patients into Meta-Humans. However, the audiences thought it as an insane idea and left before he could elaborate. He then walked to the parking lot where he was approached by Mar Novu. Deegan thought Mar is a prankster trying to get some laughs until the latter crushed Deegan's car. Deegan asked who he is and Mar told him that he is beyond his understanding. Mar then gave him the Book of Destiny to allow him alter the reality as he see fit.[2]
