Batman Beyond vol 1 #2 p 20 (Blight birth page and first appearance)

On this page Derek Powers is first revealed as the super-villain Blight after being exposed to a radioactive chemical in his battle with Batman.

I love the line here, "Bottom line it for me, doctor."

Batman Beyond was the set-in-the-future follow up to Batman: the Animated Series. Derek Powers was the evil head of the Wayne-Powers Corp., and was weapons trafficking in the dangerous materials that transformed him into Blight.

Much of the dialogue was lifted verbatim from the TV show, which makes sense since it was written by Hilary Bader who scripted many of the original BB episodes.

If they ever make a BB movie, Blight would make a sensational villain.

The team of Burchett and Beatty emulated the Timm style wonderfully here and in so many Batman books based on the animated series.
