Colonel Blimp was a Batman villain who used blimps.
History
Colonel Blimp was the traumatized son of a former Navy officer, who was retired before he could finish the zeppelin project which was cancelled prior to his forced retirement. When the man killed himself after this series of events, his son was scarred for life and grew up holding a grudge with the system.
Eventually he adopted the moniker of Colonel Blimp and commanded a small army, with whom he built several dirigibles capable of lifting battleships from the sea and captured several of these, holding the Navy officers inside for ransom. Colonel Blimp's plan was eventually foiled by Batman and Robin.
