[edit] DC animated universe history

He was an African hunter who stalked his prey bare handed, until he met his match in a black panther. Needing extensive repair on his spine, he received some sort of augmentation that increased his senses, strength, and agility. With his new abilities, the Stalker craved an even more dangerous prey, and set his sights on Batman. He came to Gotham City and kidnapped Terry McGinnis' younger brother to use him as bait to lure the Batman. Batman met Stalker in combat and, after a violent struggle, defeated him.

The Stalker seemingly died when he was hit by a bullet train. He appeared again later, however, this time to help Batman stop a reptilian organization known as Kobra from altering the world to support reptilian life only. While Batman remained wary, Stalker proved himself a trustworthy ally for the time being, saying that if Batman died, it would be at his hands.

Stalker, although fanatical about hunting, is unique in his sense of honor, which separates him from Batman's other enemies. When he kidnaps Terry's brother, he shows no intention of hurting him; his only interest in him is as bait, whereas warped psychopaths like the Joker would have murdered him just to upset Batman. Stalker also seems to be completely sane (apart from his lingering fear of the panther), which further distinguishes him.

The Stalker was slated to appear in an episode of The Zeta Project, "Taffy Time". He was replaced with Krick.

He was last seen in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue" as a member of Iniquity Collective, fighting the Justice League along with other villains from the future who are also members in a dream sequence.
