Origin

Not much is know about Boneblaster before his first encounter with Catwoman and the Gotham City Sirens, other then he was a big fans of the "old school" Gotham villains and he was obsessed with getting street cred. He most likely had stolen his sonic gloves and hadn't had time to work with them a lot before hitting the streets of Gotham City.

Creation

Boneblaster was created by Paul Dini for his run on Gotham City Sirens. He appeared in the first issue and was used as a plot devise to regroup the Gotham City Sirens. He only appeared one time later in a flash back in issue #25.

 Boneblaster first meeting (and beating) Catwoman
Boneblaster first meeting (and beating) Catwoman

Boneblaster' s first encounter with a high-profile figure was when he encountered Catwoman in Gotham City, this most likly happened just after getting (probably stealing) his gloves. Catwoman was very upset over trauma in her life so Boneblaster was able to defeat her. He planned on killing the feline hero in an attempt to increase his profile so he might hired by major gangs; but during his victory speech he was attacked from behind by Poison Ivy's vines.

Ivy beat him up, but then left him there, believing him to be unconscious. But n fact, he overheard Catwoman and Poison Ivy mention their general location, and tracked them down by finding the apartment with vines in the window. When he smashed into the apartment he discovered not only Catwoman and Poison Ivy, but also Harley Quinn and a heavily drugged Riddler (who was being kept as Ivy's slave in retribution for a previous offense to her and Catwoman).

 With help from Quinn and Ivy, Catwoman won her second fight with Boneblaster.

Boneblaster announced he was going to kill them all, and began battling them. He smashed around Ivy's plants, and was only mildly dazed by Quinn's bag of tricks, but was defeated by Catwoman. She won after realizing he was not very experienced in the use of his gloves, so she blasted them with an electric shock that short-circuited them. Quinn, Cat, and Ivy decided to become teammates as the Gotham City Sirens, but Riddler has been awakened from his daze during the battle. The girls ran away from the building but let Ridder know that Boneblaster had destroyed Edwards apartment.

The bruised and dazed Boneblaster was at the mercy of Mr. Nigma. Boneblaster mentioned that he was a huge fan of Riddler, but Riddler said that meeting one's heroes was always a disappointment. As Riddler approached him, Boneblaster asked "are you going to kick my ass?" Riddler replied yes and proceeded to do so.

Due to the fact that Boneblaster is never seen again It is unclear how badly injured he became, or how badly damaged his gloves were, or if they were stolen or not.

Boneblaster has (or had) gloves that generate vibrations capable of shattering a skull, blasting through a wooden wall, or even destroying Poison Ivy's plants. Boneblaster appears physically fit, but it is unclear if this is the case. If he survived Riddler's brutal beating, it is likely he will have lasting side affects.
