| Morgan Ducard is the son of Henri Ducard, a world renowned assassin, and Felicity Strode, a spy sent to kill Henri who instead fell in love with him. From an early age, though he did not see him often, Morgan idolized his father. When his mother was contacted by the people who had hired her to kill Ducard years ago, telling her that she would either fulfil her end of the deal or they would kill her son, Morgan stabbed her to death with a kitchen knife. His father saw what he had done and listened to what he had to say, deciding to take Morgan with him and train him to become a killer. |
| Several years later, a young Bruce Wayne came to France, searching for Henri Ducard to train under him. After drawing attention to himself, Morgan was sent to kill him, but was defeated by the American after a long battle. His father was about to kill Wayne himself, but decided to train him instead upon hearing the man's ambitions. They were both trained, constantly competing against each other, causing Morgan to feel a sense of resentment towards Bruce over stealing his father's attention from him. |
| During the training, all three were constantly tracking a terrorist named Hassan. While Bruce originally assumed it to be a simple capture, and that Interpol would come to retrieve him upon the success of the mission, he was soon proven wrong after Henri shot and killed the man. After Wayne stormed off, Ducard ordered Morgan to find him and kill him, since he knew too much about the two. Morgan shot Bruce with a sniper rifle as he exited a taxi, believing he had killed him. As he began to drive away, he was ambushed and beaten within an inch of his life by Wayne, who dropped him through a skylight and onto his father's work table. |
| After failing to kill Wayne, Morgan's father considered him a disgrace, something he would never get over. Years passed before he ever met Bruce again, going into action after the announcement of Batman Incorporated. He became the killer NoBody. |
