Bio: As Batman's arch-nemesis, The Joker is the worst kind of
evil villain. Not only is he smart, devilish, and cunning he's also
stark-raving mad! It was an unplanned encounter with a vat of chemicals
that turned the Joker's skin chalk-white and his hair bright green.
Wouldn't that send just about anyone over the edge? The accident also
affixed The Joker's mug with a permanent clownish grin. No wonder he is
regarded as "The Clown Prince of Crime." The Joker has been known to
commit everything from kidnapping to murder to robbery, but his general
strategy is to cause as much mayhem as possible.
The Joker will stop at nothing if he sees an opportunity to play a fatal
joke on Batman. The Joker has developed a number of deadly devices and
weapons, but he is perhaps best known for the invention of Smilex, a
poisonous chemical gas that freezes a Joker-grin on the faces of its
victims. Truly a ghastly concoction. Batman would like nothing more than
to lock The Joker in Arkham Asylum, the creepy Gotham mental
institution, and throw away the key. But that's the last thing on The
Joker's fractured mind.
The Joker took a step further than he has before: he recruited a bunch
of "mutant"-like teenagers from a government containment center. He took
these five teenagers and formed the Royal Flush Gang. Dressed up as
playing cards, the Royal Flush Gang did whatever the Joker asked them to
do, until things turned for worse and they left. |
