[b]Powers & Abilities:[/b] 
His magical powers grant him access to a number of abilities. He's able to sense the fear of his victims, as well as instinctively knowing their greatest fears. His powers allow him to mirror those fears. His powers include transformation, teleportation, superior strength and speed, and manipulation of darkness. Even at base he's quite dangerous, but his powers are increased by the presence of fear, especially the fear of his opponents. Direct exposure to sunlight weakens his powers, and prevents transformation/teleportation.

[b]Personality:[/b]
To the casual observer, Don and Oblivion are very different people. Don is a friendly and goofy man, making bad jokes and small talk, smiling and whistling. A typical dad, with no sense of personal shame. Oblivion, on the other hand, is something escaped from a nightmare. Sadistic, cruel, and twisted beyond human recognition. While they are the same person, Don's personality is segregated based on his situation. While in the mask he unleashes the nightmares within his mind, granting him access to their supernatural powers but also causing him to slip into a darker side of his personality.

[b]Origin Story:[/b]  
When his daughter fell into a coma, Don Damarque became desperate. When all medical approaches seemed futile he began to dabble into the occult, but even magic failed to return his daughter. Eventually he performed a highly risky ritual and managed to summon Dream of the Endless to Earth. While Dream was able to save Don's daughter, his intervention came at a price. For his daughter was lost in a nightmarish landscape within the Dreaming, and if she were to return then so would the nightmares that so tormented her. Don declared that he would take on these nightmares, that his daughter might live. Dream complied, but Don refused to fall into unconsciousness. His life transformed into a living nightmare, and even his soul was replaced with the stuff of nightmares. After only a single day he was driven insane, transformed into a monster. He hunted the night streets of Gotham, spreading terror and destruction. 

Inevitably the newly formed Oblivion came into conflict with the Dark Knight. While unable to defeat the nightmare beast in single combat, the detective soon learned that this creature fed on fear. As such he lured it to an abandoned area, and then trapped it until sunrise. Unable to feed on Batman's iron-clad determination, the creature was weakened and defeated. But Batman was shocked to discover that this creature was in fact a person, who was somehow linked to the Dreaming. Through a series of adventures it was discovered that this link could not be broken without unleashing the nightmares into the real world, but that through hypnosis and training Don could learn to control and focus the nightmares inside of him. Thus he became 'Don' and 'Oblivion', two sides of the same coin. With his powers under control he donned a scary mask and hoodie to fight crime as the friendly nightmare.
