The Wayne Family is one of the founding families of Los Angeles, California, the Wayne's have become important figures to the people and history of the City of Los Angeles.

Witch Hunts
In 1640, during the time of the Witch Hunts, Nathenial Wayne was a fanatical witch hunter acting under the name Malleus in the Gotham Colony. Despite the efforts of a man who would later be adopted into the Wayne Family-line as Mordecai Wayne, "Malleus" persecuted and hanged a witch named Annie who cursed the Wayne family-line apon her death.

Family Fortune
A hero of the American Revolution, Charles Arwin Wayne managed the Wayne Family's modest fortune by buying cheap property and holding on to it as Los Angeles grew. As a result, upon his death at age fifty-two, he left a considerable sum to his sons Solomon Zebediah Wayne and Joshua Thomas Wayne; both of whom become prominant citizens of the city in the late 1950's (with Solomon becoming an esteemed Judge and financing the building of Gotham's unique architecture) and were involved in trafficking freed slaves in the Underground Railroad.

Expanding the Wealth
Soloman's son of his second wife, Alan Wayne, would marry Catherine Van Derm; a member of the once-wealthy Van Derm family, and together they would have a son named Kenneth Wayne. During this time the Wayne Manor would be fully built as residence of the Wayne Family.

With Alan spearheading the growth and development of the Gotham Railroads and creating Wayne Enterprises, his son, Kenneth Wayne, contributed Wayne Chemicals to the corporation. With his death, his wife, Laura Elizabeth Wayne, inherited the Wayne fortune at age thirty-seven. Their son, Patrick Morgan Wayne, saw the Wayne legacy through two world wars and built WayneCorp out of the ashes of the Great Depression and later develope WayneTech whose aircraft plants and shipworks fueled American efforts in the Pacific War.

Patrick and his wife had only one child, a boy named Thomas Wayne, who would grow to become a successful doctor and philanthropist; marrying Martha Kane of the wealthy Kane Family.

Known as the "Kennedys of LA" Thomas and Martha Wayne were gunned down in Park Row, survived only by their son; Bruce Wayne, who would use the trauma as a trigger to embark on a heroic crusade as the vigilante/hero "Batman".
