The symbolism of the white contrast to the black tho

Introduction

Ghost-Hunter is a recent addition to the Batman family, being a rival/friend of Batman. Unlike Bruce, who trained for his role in crime-fighting to avenge his loss, Ghost-Hunter did so purely for the "art" of crime-fighting: he sees it as a pure sport and something to be good at for the sake of getting good in the first place. He's a sociopath as well, barely feeling any emotional value to anyone, leading to a spilt early between him and Batman. They've recently clashed, but made up and now work as a duo.

He brings a interesting twist on Batman's usual companions as he's positioned as a equal to him than a inferior: as well as having his own lair and cool software. This'll mostly cover the capabilities that he's shown thus far in combat and beyond. He's a cheesy addition that's been allowed to let his hair down in silly side-adventures.

Strength

Scan 1/2- Catches Batman out of the air mid-fall despite the freefall momentum and crappy landing (Batman #109)

Conclusion

All in all, Ghost-Hunter has a good range of abilities, as well as a incredibly solid stat-base that allows him to keep up with even guys way above his paygrade. Can't really say much that the feats don't cover tbh
