Ogre Ogre is a DC Comics character who appeared in Batman #535 (October 1996), created by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones. Ogre is a genetically altered man, whose brother is a genetically experimented Ape created by Doctor Winston Belmont. The man, Michael Adams, was increased in strength and the Ape in intelligence. The project created by Belmont was Project Mirakle, a top secret government project at Atsugi, where there were tested spy planes, as well as experiments on humans in the late 1950s. These experiments were made to create the perfect human agent but when funding was excavated so were the subjects. Michael Adams, as 23rd human experiment, managed to escape after 22 previous deaths. The Ogre tracked and murdered the scientists who collaborated with the project, only to be tracked by Batman himself. In the end, the Ape died and the Ogre wandered amidst the city alone in a story analogous to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Ogre in other media A different variation of the character appears in Gotham, portrayed by Milo Ventimiglia. This version is Jason Skolimski (using an alias Jason Lennon), a son of unnamed mother and Jacob Skolimski, the butler who worked for rich woman Constance van Groot. His biological mother left Jacob and Jason some time ago. When they came to service of Constance van Groot, Jason thought to believe that she is his mother, but she rejected him and in his rage killed her, taking her money and leaving the rotting corpse in her bedroom, with the help from his father. Jason made plastic surgery to his disfigured face in the clinic, where he was cured by a nurse Julie Kemble, the first murder victim. Over one decade, he became a serial killer in which he targets young and attractive successful women, kidnapping and keeping them for weeks or months and later murdering and dumping them in various places of Gotham, leaving behind a hand-made drawing of a broken heart. The GCPD keeps very quiet about the case, not even telling the press about his killings, and usually let the cases slip by because whenever Skolimski finds out his murders are being investigated, he goes after the loved ones of the detectives handling them. From those reasons, he is called the "Ogre" and "Don Juan Killer" (according to Harvey Bullock), and the Ogre is said to be handsome, rich and educated man in his profile.
