He's Jervis Tetch, a crazy man with an obsession with hats and a tendency to to make all his plans rela to Alice in Wonderland. For example, he once threw a tea party at which he had himself, a hostage, and (when he arrived) Batman play the parts of the mad hatter, the mouse, and the march hare. During no man's land he pretty much focused on recovering his extensive collection of hats.

At the tea party is the Hare considered a hatter too or is the Mad Hatter the only one?

Only the Mad Hatter is a hatter. The name "The Mad Hatters Tea Party" might suggest that there is more than one hatter there, but if you put the apostrophe in the correct place it becomes "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party", which means, "the tea party belonging to the Mad Hatter".


What is the mad hatters fulll name?

The Mad Hatter's full name is typically given as "Hatter," but in some adaptations, such as the 2010 film "Alice in Wonderland" directed by Tim Burton, he is referred to as "Tarrant Hightopp." In Lewis Carroll's original works, he remains largely unnamed beyond his title, the Mad Hatter. His character is known for his eccentricity and love of tea parties.


What chemical do hatters use?

Not too many years ago, hatters used mercury. Mercury is toxic and causes symptoms which appear similar to 'madness'. Unfortunately, that is why so many of them seemed to go crazy prior to their deaths. Hence the phrase "as mad as a hatter".


Why did Hatters go mad?

In the eighteenth and ninrteenth centuries felt hats were cured using mercury. Mercury is extremely toxic and poisoning by this substance causes symptoms similar to 'madness'. Many hatters of the time were made ill or even killed as a result of mercury poisoning.


How did the Mad Hatter get his name?

The phrase 'as mad as a hatter' was well known in Victorian times, as many hatters suffered from mercury poisoning which caused symptoms resembling 'madness'. The Mad Hatter was named after this saying - but possibly not directly - Martin Gardner points out in his Annotated Alice, that it is generally considered that the Hatter was inspired by "Theophilus Carter, a furniture dealer near Oxford. Carter was known in the area as the Mad Hatter, partly because he always wore a top hat and partly because of his eccentric ideas." (From The Annotated Alice by Martin Gardner).So the Mad Hatter got his name from Theophilus Carter, who in turn, got his nick-name from a well known saying.
