Captain Boomerang, was a notorious Australian criminal, specialized in the art of improvisation during combate. Harkness was considered one of the world's largest arms dealers on the black market, working for various dictator and influential figures, including Aku Kwesi in Africa and Xavier Cujo in Medellín.
Digger Harkness grew up in a quiet coastal town in Australia, raised by his mother and without his father ever present in his life. From an early age, he would spin stories for others abouth where his father might be, inventing excuses to fill the empty space left behind. To cope with this absence, young Digger began carving his bet out of wood and hurling the pieces, always catching them again with his left hand. In those moments, he realized that if he mastered this skill, he could one day impress his father if they ever met.
His mother, an Australian Aboriginal woman, taught him about the myth of Bobbi-Bobbi a serpent-like god said have invented the very first boomerang. Days turned into weeks, weeks into years, and Digger's ability with the boomerang grew sharper, more precise and dangerously lethal. What began as skillful game soon became a deadly art, first taking the lives of animals and eventually, humans.
When Digger reached a certain age, he began committing thefts to support himself. But the first time he used his boomerang skills during a crime, he realized that with this ability, he could be unbeatable. And so it was, Harkness crafted a makeshit Boomerang costume and began operating across the country, quickly catching the attention of Hugh Dawkins, the Tasmanian Devil. Dawkins launched an investigation, and after countless chases, repeatedly sent the villain back to prison.
In a desperate attempt to rid himself of the hero, Harkness kidnapped the president's daughter, using her as bait to lure Dawkins into a trap. Soon after, the Heroe arrived at the scene, narrowly escaping the ambush, and attacked Digger, throwing him to the ground and biting his left arm. Panicked, Digger used a pocketknife to sever his own arm and kicked the Tasmanian Devil away, fleeing while covered in his own Urine.
After yet another failed robbery, Digger decided to move to America, Specifically, Central City. During his first Bank heist there Boomerang faced a new threat: Flash, the Scarlet Speedster, who quickly sent him to prison. Recognizing the potential ins his hands, Amanda Waller transferred him to Belle Reve Penitentiary, placing him under her own deisngs.
