Captain Boomerang

Captain Boomerang is George "Digger" Harkness, a violent thug from Australia who uses a variety of high-tech boomerangs to commit crimes and fight the Flash. This has made him a member of the violent Rogues gallery. He has also been a member of the Suicide Squad, the Injustice Gang, the Secret Society of Super-Villains and the Black Lantern Corps. Harkness was killed during Identity Crisis, although he was later resurrected during Blackest Night. His son is Owen Mercer, a character of conflicted morality with limited super-speed, who's been a hero and a villain.

Captain Boomerang was created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino, first appearing in The Flash #117 (1960). Owen Mercer was created by Brad Meltzer and Rags Morales, first appearing in Identity Crisis #3 (2004).
