History:  (Batman I #173) - Real estate agent James Carter turned to a life of crime as Mr. Incognito, and became a feared underworld figure. Commissioner Gordon got a tip about Mr. Incognito's location, and led Batman, Robin and the GCPD on a raid. They captured Incognito's underlings, but the criminal mastermind slipped away into Gotham's sewers. Photographer Elwood Person was at the scene, and he offered the mayor the secret of Incognito's real identity for one million dollars. He'd developed a special film that could penetrate clothing, so his picture of Incognito showed him unmasked. The mayor was skeptical, and Batman and Robin investigated Pearson. They found him in his photo shop with Mr. Incognito, he had a picture of the Dynamic Duo in their secret identities, and was willing to sell it to Incognito. Batman and Robin took out Mr. Incognito, and Pearson fired at them, so they apprehended him as well. They destroyed the photo revealing their secret identities, and hoped Pearson would not recognize their faces out of the millions of people in Gotham.
