History[]
The Catchman is a character from the one-off story Candy and the Catchman in 2000 AD. He was a bizarre abomination created by the Council of Eternals to sustain them. To do this he would hunt down groups of children and rob them of their youth with spikes on his claws.
One day a teen named Billy Candy decided to stand up to the Catchman and led him on a wild goose chase after stealing the cap to his chlorine gas tank (which he breathed in order to survive). The Catchman eventually suffocated and collapsed. Candy gleefully stood triumphant over the body, only to be stabbed in the back with the Catchman's last breath, stealing him of his youth.
