Batman: Orpheus Rising comic books star a fictional martial artist, Gavin King, created by Alex Simmons and Dwayne Turner. King grew up in Gotham City dreaming of becoming a professional dancer and singer. His ambitions made him a target for local bullies, and after one too many beatings, King began studying the martial arts. King toured the world as part of a famous dance troupe, but his travels exposed him to a world full of famine, poverty, violence and prejudice. Eventually he was recruited by a secret organization dedicated to correcting some of the world's problems. Getting special training and technological support in the form of a stealth-circuitry-enhanced costume, King became Orpheus - a force against evil and ignorance and returned to Gotham City.
