History

The Man With The Black Hat was once Norbert Budge, an unemployed sub-accountant with bad breath and flat feet. One day, he accidentally stumbled across the wondrous Black Hat while cleaning his septic system and used its terrific power to become The Man In The Black Hat, conqueror of the galaxy!

He had a long and distinguished career in comics like LNH Quarterly #24, The LNH #57-61, and Well-Dressed Comics #4, none of which actually exist.

His first published appearance was in The Flame Wars, wherein he revealed that, after his defeat in Tales of the LNH #186, he had become The Man Who Now Has A Leather Gauntlet Jeweled With The Insanity Gems. Enacting a plan to gain legal claim over 10% of the Looniverse, he was defeated and the Insanity Gems taken, but he escaped.

He reappeared in Tales of the LNH #330, scarred by having borne the Gems. Panta healed him of these ills and prevented him from kicking off a timeline in which the Marvel Empire would use the Gems to conquer the galaxy.
