The Cavalier is a fictional supervillain in the DC Comics universe. The character first appeared in Detective Comics #81, (November 1943), and was created by Don Cameron and Bob Kane.

Mortimer Drake was a man of exotic and idiosyncratic taste. When he found himself unable to purchase more exotic valuables for his collection legally, he resorted to theft. Donning a costume resembling that of a Musketeer, he called himself the Cavalier. His course of actions ultimately brought him into conflict with Batman and Robin.

Drake matched wits against Batman and Robin several times, and escaped them in each encounter, but Batman was able to deduce the Cavalier's identity, leading to Drake's eventual imprisonment.

In Batman Family #10, Batgirl and Batwoman teamed up to defeat the Cavalier. Cavalier could not find a way around his code, which prevented hitting females, but after a self-examination he concludes "the devil with gallantry" and hit Batgirl with his fist.

Cavalier (Hudson Pyle) has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
