In Robin: Year One, Tetch devised a plan to implant his mind control devices in portable tape players, which he gave out to young girls at Dick Grayson's school in order to sell the young girls to millionaire third-world dictator Generalissimo Lee. Once again, Tetch was stopped by Batman, but not before using his advanced equipment to feed information from Fox's mind into his computer. Tetch has even kidnapped Lucius Fox of Wayne Enterprises and held him for ransom. Tetch seemed to have died under the wheels of a train, but that turned out to have been another trick. He even managed to slip one into Scarecrow's hat and take control of him for a short time. It was in 1983's Detective Comics #526 that Tetch was first portrayed with the mind-controlling devices for which he is now best known. Tetch claimed to have killed his impostor, but that turned out to be untrue when the impostor returned one last time in Detective Comics #573 in 1987. Tetch appeared with a pet monkey, as well as a mind-erasing machine.

The real Jervis Tetch reappeared in Detective Comics #510 in 1981. Later a very different Mad Hatter appeared, claiming to be Jervis Tetch, but he was revealed as an impostor and subsequently disposed of once the real Tetch re-appeared. Tetch was subsequently sent to Arkham Asylum.

In his first appearance, the Mad Hatter attempted to steal a trophy from the Gotham Yacht Club, but was foiled by Batman while he tried to rob spectators from a high society horse show. He is an insane neuroscientist and developed hardware that can control the brain and induce hypnotic states, and often uses hats or other headgear for mind control. As his criminal name indicates, he takes the appearance of the Mad Hatter from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Lisa is arrested after Tetch and his men have predictably lost the fight in the Hatter'shideout against the dynamic duo. This is seen in her delighted and giggly reactions when Tetch explains his hat factory killing devices to her - later when the Hatter tells her he's about to use these on the captive Batman and Robin she shows considerable enthusiasm at the prospect. She appears to get a thrill from criminality, even that she has a sadistic nature. Lisa is a ruthless criminal rather than one of the misled, naive, or only half heartedly crooked females who often feature in the series. Smartly dressed, she has a sophisticated, if somewhat gushing manner. Lisa is a tall, beautiful, and glamorous young blonde. In her undercover role at the hat store she providesBatman and Robin with information which sends them into a Mad Hatter trap. She may well have been involved in other kidnappings. We see her help him kidnap two jurors (her employer, Madame Magda, and a cafe proprietor, Turkey Bullwinkle). Lisa works 'legitimately' in a hat shop, although she may have been 'planted' there by Tetch as part of his kidnapping plan. After exacting vengeance, he intends to steal a priceless collection of hats once worn by US presidents. He is kidnapping (and stealing the hats!) of the jurors who sent him to prison and intends snatching (and disposing of) Batman as well, for having testified against him in court. The Mad Hatter (really the fiendish hat-obsessed criminal Jervis Tetch) is on a vengeance spree.
