Mr. Esper first gained notoriety as one of the Batman's early foes that attempted local robberies using the front that he was as stage show mentalist who claimed to read minds. Mr. Esper attempted to pave the way for a west coast syndicate to move in to Gotham before the new breed of costumed criminals that had taken over foiled him.
Leaving Gotham after a few capers, Mr. ESPer came into contact with the Teen Titans when he used his helmet's ‘sonic whisper' to tap into Lilith's mind - and gain access to her powers. He adopted the dual identity of Captain Calamity to wreck havoc on both East and West coasts. In a way, Mr. ESPer was responsible for bringing the Titans West group into being. In his guise as Captain Calamity, Mr. ESPer made small disasters happen to the Teen Titans that fought him. Initially, Captain Calamity was just an illusion created by the helmet. As his encounters with the two teams progressed, ESPer assumed his Calamity identity to make Mr. ESPer the illusion. The two teams eventually deduce the deception and capture him.
