Thomas Wayne Jr. and his wife, Martha Wayne, both lived in Gotham in the late 20th century.

Thomas Wayne was the son of billionaire mogul and former Justice Defender Thomas Wayne Sr., also known as Owlman. Eschewing his father's business practice, Thomas Jr. went into medicine. He met and married Martha Wayne shortly before graduating from med school, and the two swiftly rose to the top of Gotham's social elite.

On June 26 1986, Thomas and his wife Martha were gunned down outside the Gotham Opera House in a botched mugging. This left their son Bruce Wayne the sole inheritor of the Wayne mantle, and an orphan.

The botched mugging was part of a Soviet plot to spur the United States into re-opening the Super-Soldier program, as the Wayne family held a trust shared with Howard Stark that retained control of Abraham Erskine's original formula. The mugger was the Russian operative code-named Winter Soldier.
