As an orphan, Owen Mercer dropped out of high school and worked at a movie theater. He soon learned the super villains Captain Boomerang and Golden Glider were his true birth parents. After Mercer met his father, through the Calculator, they were instant friends. He demonstrated his super power after saving his father from a razor-tipped boomerang. Boomerang decided to make his son famous by killing Robin, Tim Drake. However, Boomerang died in the attempt. Mercer swore revenge and became the next Captain Boomerang. While several boomerangs are visible on his leather jacket, he also keeps many hidden on his person. Over the years, he drifted from group to group.
When a $1 Billion bounty was placed on Superman, Mercer teamed up with several other super villains. After avoiding being smothered by Giganta, Mercer and the other villains were knocked unconscious by an energy shockwave unleashed by Captain Atom.
