Darryl Brown is a minor character in Harley Quinn and the father of Kite Man.
He first appears alongside his wife, Wendy Brown in "Inner (Para) Demons" when they meet Kite Man's fiancee, Poison Ivy for the first time. They berate Kite Man for not booking a table at Senor Mexico's but are delighted when Ivy uses her powers to toss a couple out of their seats, opening up a table for them. Throughout the dinner, Ivy becomes disconcerted by how poorly Darryl and Wendy treat Kite Man. When Kite Man briefly departs to wash his hands, his parents mention to Ivy that they're so happy because Ivy has powers, and because of the prospect that their grandchildren will have superpowers like they do (they can control ice and fly, respectively). It becomes clear their general mistreatment of Kite Man comes from a sense of disappointment toward him for being born powerless and they have no respect for Kite Man finding himself through his kites. At the end of the meal, they continue to shower Ivy with praises, while still demeaning Kite Man, at which point, Ivy finally snaps, coming to his defense, telling them to "fuck off".
Darryl and Wendy attend Kite Man and Ivy's wedding in "The Runaway Bridesmaid" where Kite Man segments in his vows how their life together will include spending Sunday dinners at his parents' house, as soon as they allow them back into their lives, confirming they cut him and Ivy out after the failed dinner. Darryl is seen participating in the chaos that ensues after the GCPD crash the wedding, shooting massive amounts of ice from his hands.
