Ragman

Ragman is a fictional mystic vigilante and superhero who has appeared in several comic books published by DC Comics. He is sometimes compared to the other night-time defender of Gotham City, Batman.

Rory Regan is a rag man, doing good in his community by buying used items from people who need money. The suit of rags that he wears was originally just a costume made from materials found around the rag shop he shared with his father, Rags'n'Tatters, but when his continuity was changed in the 1991 mini-series, each of the patches in the suit became the soul of an evil-doer that the Ragman had punished and absorbed.

Ragman is one of a limited number of Jewish superheroes, and his continuity is tied to that of DC's Golem, from Jewish folklore.

Ragman is one of the members of the Shadowpact, a team which is attempting to confront the Spectre in DC Comics's Day of Vengeance mini-series, in 2005, leading up to Infinite Crisis.
