General Norman is a villain from the series, Batman Beyond, who was paranoid of a group of heroes known as the Terrific Trio, created by Howard Hugges, to such a degree he actively sought their destruction rather than any sort of compromise: this in turn caused the Trio to go on a rampage across Gotham. He is one of many characters in fiction who are both part of the military and also corrupt, this is especially common in superhero fiction - thus General Norman is part of a very well known villain archetype.
