The Joker
The Pale Man of Gotham
The Ace of Knaves
The Harlequin of Hate
The Clown Prince of Crime
The Jester of Genocide

| ORIGIN & BACKSTORY: |

Due to his nature, the Joker suggested many possible origins for how he came to be. While most of these origins were strictly grounded in reality, they all contained at least some fantastical element.

Of the Joker's favorite origins was that he lived with his murderous Aunt Eunice. An abusive guardian, she washed his skin with bleach. Eventually this resulted in irreparable brain damage as well as the drainage of all pigmentation from his skin.

The most commonly accepted theory was that the man who would become the Joker had at some point been coerced into joining the Red Hood Gang. This man acted as a body double to Red Hood One and due to this, fell in a vat of chemicals during the Showdown at A.C.E. Chemical. The acid severely disfigured his skin and shattered his sanity, sending the man down the path to becoming the Joker. As the man who was the real Red Hood One was found dead after the Showdown, it was unknown if the body double killed him and took his spot or replaced him sometime during the Showdown.

A theory that began to arise in the later years of the Joker's activities was that he was actually the Pale Man of Gotham City. This more supernatural take on the Joker's past perpetuated that at some point prior to the construction of Gotham, a man had come into contact with the chemical compound known as dionesium. It was alleged that this compound transformed him into an immortal being that haunted Gotham City during the time of great disasters.

Whatever his origin was, the first sightings of the Joker began to happen during the 2002. At this time, the Joker had not yet taken that specific name and covered his face with wrapped bandages. Initially the man who would be Joker started to hunt down members of the Red Hood Gang, whilst they were in a gang war with The Blockbuster Gang. While hunting the gang, the Joker began to take an interest in Willis Todd, the leader of the Red Hood Gang. Following Todd to the place that the remnants of the Red Hood Gang had gathered, the Joker massacred the remaining members from a vantage point while disguised as a police officer. With a smoking sniper rifle, the Joker ended the reign of the Red Hood Gang. With his notorious murders growing, the man quickly gained the title of the Joker and due to concrete proof of his existence, became a larger media sensation than the Batman. The Joker confirmed his existence when at the Gotham City Fairgrounds where he revealed himself with an event that would shake Gotham — The Haly’s Circus Massacre. Individuals like Gillian Loeb lost their life during this event much to the Joker's amusement. A random massacre that was unpredictable, the Joker laughed in Batman's face before disappearing without a trace, returning to the ghost he had been before.

Nearing the end of the year 2003, the Joker reappeared once again on All Hallow's Eve, intending to use the holiday to incite mass fear and hysteria as he ignited a bomb scare by leaking information to the Gotham Gazette. This leak sent the city into chaos as the Joker warned that thirty-seven bombs will go off anywhere between one hour to twenty-four hours. As a televised journalist began to announce the warning to the city, the Joker hijacked a local news channel to make his own announcement. Smiling at the people of Gotham, the Joker told all who was watching that he was hosting a “sort of party” at Robinson Park where he intended to burn a large quantity of cash to celebrate the “end of Gotham”. Even though the Batman pushed himself to find and disable each of the bombs, he Joker is ultimately gone by the time all of the bombs were found and disabled — his antics continuing to mock Batman and his repeated failure.

Killing about nineteen people per year, the Joker would slowly build up a small gang. While building up his gang, which would later evolve into the Circus of Strange. With the gang created, the Joker would eventually try to prove that anybody could go insane with just one "bad" day. Returning to Gotham over a year to the Gotham Fairgrounds, the site of the infamous massacre, the circus claims to be the friendly replacement and as such lures innocents to their show where The Joker’s chaos soon takes full advantage of. It begins as the showcases start to murder the guests and it comes to Batman & Robin to arrive to put a stop to it and revealing themselves to Gotham for the first time in broad daylight. It is here where Joker reveals himself alongside his mutated accomplice, Killer Croc. A savage and difficult fight ensues but in the end The Joker is seriously beaten and all of the psychopaths are arrested by the police as Batman & Robin disappear. This fight would prove for certainty that the existence of Batman was true to the general public, any doubts that could be left would be gone.

After his apprehension at the hands of Batman and Robin, the Joker was sentenced to Arkham Asylum. It was here where he would be treated by a beautiful young doctor named Harleen Quinzel. It did not take long for the Joker to exploit Harleen's unstable side, reavling the Harlequin within. The Joker would seduce Quinzel into insanity and would make her his assistant. Now operating from within his cell, the Joker is slowly plotting his big return to the spot light while waiting for the prefect moment to strike.

| ATTRIBUTES: |

POWERS:

UNIQUE PHYSIOLOGY: Due to his chemical submergence, Joker has gained beyond average advantages over normal humans as well as further exposure has tainted his physiology.

PAIN RESISTENCE: It is speculated that the Joker's exposure to chemicals may have heightened his resistance to pain. It is also implied that he is masochistic in nature, and thus enjoys any pain received, making it an ineffective way of dealing with him.

TAINTED LOVE BLOOD: Joker's blood is tainted. It has been said that "being an avid consumer of his products, Joker's immunity to poisons has been built up over years of dedicated abuse." When a mosquito sucks the Joker's blood, it "writhes and whines, choking on tainted blood".

JOKER VENOM IMMUNITY: The Joker is immune to his own venom as well as various similar toxins.

CHEATING DEATH: The Joker has cheated death numerous times, even in seemingly inescapable and lethal situations. He has been, among other things, caught in explosions, electrocuted, shot repeatedly, and dropped from great heights, but he always returns to once again wreak havoc.

ABILITIES:

INDOMITABLE WILL: The Joker's insanity, or his frame of mind, leaves him immune to the Spectre's judgement, though warranted, as Batman explained once that the Joker doesn't actually know what is right and wrong, a crucial understanding the Spectre needs to judge. In a way, one has to know one's deeds are evil or wrong for the Spectre to judge, and the Joker doesn't. Also, both Jim Corrigan and Hal Jordan Spectres have had major problems with navigating the Joker's mind, Corrigan even managed to get lost in it and Jordan literally was blasted out of his boots to the moon when he tried.

GENIUS LEVEL INTELLECT: The Joker is portrayed as highly intelligent and skilled in the fields of chemistry and engineering, as well an expert with explosives. From his first appearance onward, he has been consistently portrayed as capable of hijacking broadcasts - usually news programs - of both the television and radio varieties.

GIMMICK GADGETRY: The Joker commits crimes with countless "comedic" weapons (such as razor-sharp playing cards, acid-spewing flowers, cyanide pies, and lethally electric joy buzzers) and Joker venom.

ESCAPOLOGY: A master at escaping prisons, cages, restraints and even straitjackets, the Joker is a master at escaping from any constraints that are inflicted upon him.

TACTICAL ANALYSIS: A schemer and a criminal mastermind, the Joker is capable of pulling off high risk exploits and heists. However he's also capable of framing others for murder and laying out elaborate schemes to entangle his foes or simply to incite general anarchy.

DISGUISE: A master of disguise in both physical appearance and mannerisms, the Joker can blend into any crowd to infiltrate unsuspecting foes or even to simply manipulate others for his personal amusement.

HAND TO HAND COMBAT: The Joker has moderate skill in hand to hand combat. Over the years it has been shown that although Batman is stronger, the Joker is faster and more agile, and his fighting style is chaotic and difficult to predict. The Joker has been known to be able to hold his own in hand-to-hand combat against Batman, however every time he is subdued by Batman, it is through physical force. However, the Joker has proven to be very skilled in the area of martial arts as well, this being proven when beating the Batman once in a fight without "cheating". However, this skill in fighting can also be questioned, due to different artists having different reincarnations of the Joker. In some cases, he is so weak, that Batman can take him down with a single punch, whilst in other cases, he has proven to be more than a match for the Dark Knight.

INTIMIDATION: Joker is adept at torturing his victims endlessly, including shooting victims at point blank, torturing people to death and beating others into submission.

Psychologist Magdalene Kyle works directly under the director of the facility.

| CHARACTER GOALS: |

Taking inspiration from 'THE DARK KNIGHT', 'BATMAN: DEATH OF THE FAMILY', 'THE KILLING JOKE', 'JOKER', 'UNDER THE RED HOOD' AND 'THE MAN WHO LAUGHS', I am planning a Joker who commands a presence, a master showman who is also a psychotic criminal mastermind. This Joker has no problem hiring a gang or having others be his muscle, but also won't hesitate to drop one of his own for pure amusement. The Joker is unpredictable, changing in personality from day to day. One day Joker could scheme and plot, the next day he could walk into the middle of a crowd and start indiscriminately killing all those around him. In terms of goals, I hope to have Joker tangle not only with Batman but other major heroes. That said he'll always have a special spot for Batman and his family. Furthermore, my Joker would be happy to attack other villains, aligning with them only if their needs suit his own. My first major arc involves Joker first attempting to escape Arkham before instead asserting himself as the king in the castle, taking control of the asylum.

| IDENTITY |

Peter Richard Parker aka The Amazing Spider-Man
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
Spidey
Wall-crawler
Web-head
Web-slinger
Arachnid

| ORIGIN & BACKSTORY |

Peter Richard Parker was born in Queens to CIA agents Richard and Mary Parker. While Peter was still an infant, his parents were assigned to infiltrate the Algerian based spy ring controlled by the terrorist sect known as KOBRA. The moment that KOBRA learned that Richard and Mary were double agents, they were killed by one of their agents. This agent was a man known only as the Finisher, who killed the Parkers in an airplane crash overseas and then framed them for treason. Peter went to live with his uncle and aunt, Ben and May Parker, in Forest Hills, New York. With Richard and Mary's deaths, they became Peter’s surrogate parents and raised him as if he were their own son.

Over the next 9 years, Parker grew to be extremely bright in science and became a high honors student at Midtown High School. Parker's shyness and scholastic interest often made him a social outcast and a target for bullies, primarily football star Flash Thompson.

While attending a public exhibition demonstrating the safe handling of nuclear laboratory waste materials, sponsored by the Osborne Corporation or simply OsCorp, the now-15-year-old Peter Parker was bitten on the hand by a spider that had been irradiated by a particle accelerator used in the demonstration. Making his way home afterwards, Peter was almost hit by a car; when Peter jumped out of the way, Peter discovered he had somehow gained incredible strength, agility, and the ability to cling to walls, spider-like traits that he immediately associated with the spider bite.

Believing with his new-found abilities, Peter could finally land a date with his childhood crush, Gwen Stacy, he quickly realized there was yet another obstacle to overcome. Growing up with his Aunt and Uncle, Peter had always lived modestly and as such he was missing was the money to take the girl out on a date. Encountering an ad offering a cash prize for staying in the ring for three minutes with professional wrestler Joseph "Crusher" Hogan, Peter decided this would be a good way to test his powers. Wearing a mask to avoid potential embarrassment in case he lost the match or was identified by his classmates, Peter easily defeated his opponent. TV producer Maxwell Shiffman observed his performance and convinced him to go on television with his 'act.' Designing a full costume, Peter created a ring alias, calling himself Spider-Man. Going on to win each match he was entered into, 'Spider-Man' became an immediate sensation.

Following his first TV appearance, the wrestling company was robbed, an incident that Peter could have stopped. However after being ripped off by Shiffman, Peter instead allowed the thief to escape, claiming that it was not his responsibility to perform security. Peter forgot the incident as his fame rose, but days later he returned home at night to find his Uncle Ben had been murdered. Learning the police had the burglar responsible holed up in a warehouse, Peter changed into his Spider-Man and easily captured the murderer only to discover he was the same thief who Peter had allowed to escape earlier. Filled with remorse, the last words that Uncle Ben had spoken to Peter hung over him. After a disagreement with his Uncle, Ben had reminded Peter that 'With great power comes great responsibility'. Realizing he had been squandering his new abilities on fame, Peter resolved to honor his Uncle's memory, quitting the wrestling arena. With word of the Hydra prison break, Peter donned the Spider-Man costume again but this time instead of fighting for money, he chose to fight for those weaker than himself.

| ATTRIBUTES |

Spider Physiology: Spider-Man possesses the proportionate powers of a spider, granted to him from an irradiated Common House Spider (Achaearanea tepidariorum) which bit Peter Parker that was apparently already mutated from prior exposure to certain frequencies of radiation and received a final, lethal dose during Parker's attendance of the exhibition. The radioactive, complex mutagenic enzymes in the spider's blood that were transferred at the time of the bite triggered numerous body-wide mutagenic changes within Parker, granting him superhuman strength, speed, toughened flesh, and numerous arachnid-like abilities.

His powers include:

Wall-Crawling: Spider-Man's exposure to the mutated spider venom induced a mutagenic, cerebellum-wide alteration of his engrams resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of inter-atomic attraction (electrostatic force) between molecular boundary layers. This overcomes the outer electron shell's normal behavior of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail. The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited to Spider-Man's body (especially concentrated in his hands and feet) and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger. Spider-Man is even able to prevent his opponents from taking his mask off by making it stick to his face.

Superhuman Strength: Spider-Man possesses superhuman strength enabling him to press lift many tons. Spider-Man's physical strength is sufficient enough to enable him to lift and even throw objects as heavy as a big as a large car. He must also pull his punches and kicks unless fighting someone of similar or greater physical durability. Otherwise, his blows would prove fatal to a normal human being. He has demonstrated that he is strong enough to knock out people with normal durability with as little as a tap to the head. Spider-Man's physical strength also extends into his legs, enabling him to be able to jump to a height of several stories in a single bound. Spider-Man demonstrated this when he leaped over thirty feet vertically into the air when he first leaped out of the way of an oncoming car; it should also be noted that when he first discovered his powers as a teenager.

Superhuman Speed: Spider-Man is capable of running and moving at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Spider-Man has showed to be fast enough to catch up to an accelerating car while on foot, but prefers to travel by webs. It should be noted, this car was limited due to the urban environment of New York, therefore this was a speed of roughly thirty miles per hour.

Superhuman Stamina: Spider-Man's advanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows him to exert himself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair him. At his peak, Spider-Man can physically exert himself at his peak capacity for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him. Several accounts depict Spider-Man as able to hold his breath for eight minutes or more.

Superhuman Durability: Spider-Man's body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. His body is more resistant to impact forces than anything else. He can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with super strength, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort. Spider-Man's body is durable to the point where tensing his super-strong muscles while being punched in the torso by a trained heavyweight boxer caused the attacker's wrists to break; also, Spider-Man has stated that he must roll with punches thrown by people without similar strength or durability to avoid breaking their wrists.

Superhuman Agility: Spider-Man's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Spider-Man is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength. He has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. He can also perform any complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. He can easily match or top any Olympic record at gymnastics apparatus such as flying rings, climbing ropes, horizontal bars, trampolines.

Superhuman Equilibrium: Spider-Man possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow.

Superhuman Reflexes: Spider-Man's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are currently about 40 times greater than those of an ordinary human. In combination with his spider-sense, the speed of his reflexes allows him to dodge almost any attack, or even gunfire, if he is far enough away. Spider-Man has even been shown in some cases, to be able to dodge gunfire using just his reflexes without his Spider-Sense.

Regenerative Healing Factor: Spider-Man has a limited healing factor. While not on the same level as some mutants, it is sufficiently powerful enough to recover from severe injuries, from broken bones and large amounts of tissue damage in a matter of days.

Contaminant Immunity: Due to his accelerated metabolism, Spider-Man has a higher tolerance for drugs and diseases than normal humans, and he can recover from the effects of larger doses rapidly. During an encounter with the Swarm, Spider-Man was incapacitated by thousands of bee stings, but recovered in less than 24 hours. His resistance and recovery time to other toxins and diseases varies, but is typically significantly higher than normal. Spider-Man was able to recover completely from acid being spat into his eyes by the new Vulture although the extent of the damage may have been restricted due to his superhuman durability. However, Spider-Man has the normal human tolerance for alcoholic beverages.

Spider-Sense: Spider-Man possesses an extrasensory "danger" or "spider" sense which warns him of potential immediate danger by the manifestation of a tingling sensation in the back of his skull, and links with his superhuman kinesthetics, enabling him to evade most any injuries, unless he cognitively overrides his automatic reflexes. It appears to be a simultaneous clairvoyant response to a wide variety of phenomena (everything from falling safes to speeding bullets to thrown punches), which has given several hundredths of a second warning, which is sufficient time for his reflexes to allow him to avoid injury. The sense also can create a general response on the order of several minutes: he cannot discern the nature of the threat by the sensation. He can, however, discern the severity of the danger by the strength of his response to it. Spider-Man's spider-sense is directional and can guide him to or away from hidden weapons and enemies. Sudden and extreme threats can cause his spider-sense to react with painful intensity. Spider-Man can also sense and dodge attacks directed randomly or by an artificial intelligence. Using his spider-sense to time his enhanced reflexes, Spider-Man can casually dodge attacks up to and including automatic-weapons fire, provided there is sufficient distance. His spider-sense is sufficiently well-linked to his reflexes to the point that a threat can trigger them even when Spider-Man is asleep or stunned. His spider-sense has helped him preserve his secret identity since it alerts him to observers or cameras when changing into or out of his costume. The spider-sense does react to those who Peter does not consider to be a threat, such as Aunt May. Spider-Man can choose to ignore his spider-sense, and distraction or fatigue diminish its effectiveness. Spider-Man's fighting style incorporates the advantage that his "spider-sense" provides him. His body begins to produce more adrenaline after the sense is triggered, an extension of the 'fight or flight syndrome.' Even when he does not have the use of his eyes, Spider-Man can still use his Spider Sense in a similar fashion to a Radar Sense to help him see by sensing the direction the danger is coming from by listening on the loudest noise around him.

Radio Frequency Detection: Peter's spider-sense also enables him to track certain radio frequencies, which could be used to his advantage through additional hardware.

Taking major hints from the 'ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN' comics and 'AMAZING SPIDER-MAN' movies, my Spider-Man will be more updated than some of the other takes. Further influences include both 'SPIDER-MAN THE ANIMATED SERIES' and the more recent 'SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN'. I'd like to demonstrate the difference between the nerdy, awkward and shy Peter compared to the boisterous and outgoing nature of Spider-Man. This take on Peter Parker will be more of a gadgeteering genius than the one who has been presented in common media. Ideally, Spider-Man will be able to form friendships and bonds with other young heroes in this universe such as Robin or the Titans, the X-Men and the Defenders. To begin with however, Spider-Man will be just starting out, gaining a rogue gallery and developing both his costume and gear.
