Other versions
For a brief time, the name Quakemaster is used by fellow villain the Ventriloquist during the Gotham City disaster known as the Cataclysm.[6][7][8][9][10]
Still later, another supervillain called Geomancer takes up Quakemaster's m.o., although seemingly without the aid of technical equipment.
In the first issue of the Hero Hotline miniseries, the titular team battled an exo-skeleton-wearing criminal who was using a super-powered jackhammer to tunnel under a building which had been erected over the hiding place for his loot while he was in prison. Although the character was identified as potentially being Quakemaster, his identity was never verified.
