-An easy crime
Personality:On the surface, The Riddler is a, cheerful, cocky criminal that always seems to have everything under control. Yet His inability to ever stray from that particular set of rules is both his joy and his ultimate weakness. Even when he's a perfect to do so, he simply refuses to kill off his foes without giving them a fighting chance of survival. Maybe its because he gets a thrill out of watching people run around like a rat in a maze from their lifes or maybe he wants the last thing to enter his foes mind is that there were bested by the riddler...Or maybe he's just genetically coded to riddle...He's ultimate goal in life is proving that he's the world greatest thinker at any means...But that's not to say he's a mindless killer. Heaven's no! He's a gentleman. Any mayhem or murders he commits is always for a purpose....To make the game all the more interesting...and if someone has to die in the name of that? Than so be it.
Powers:Intelligence- Brilliant, Genius, Gifted, All these word and more can be used to describe Edward Nygma. even on a bad mental day He rivals the greatest minds in history in terms of sheer intellect. This allows him the gift of being able to absorb any information he deems relevant like a sponge the more he experiences, the smarter he will become,. His superior intellect, allows the riddler to deduce, problem solve and even create preventive measures to what may be obstacles or foils to his own evil plans. In a other universe The Riddler would more likely to be an expert detective, but instead he uses this gift to help him achieve his own goals. This allows him to run his plans over in his mind and think like his foes would, thus giving him the chance to out think them before they even get the chance to think.
WeaponsCane: The Riddler in his infinite wisdom has created a cane designed with his trademark question mark handle. The cane is designed by Nygma himself not only is a living part of his attire but also serves a number of purposes. (Signal Jammer, Remote ETC)
Nygma tech:While gadgets and bombs aren't exactly his thing, The Riddler has been known to use them from time to time. Most of them are designed by the man himself are used to help with his plots and well as bamboozle the minds of his foes
Strengths/Abilities:
-Criminal mastermind
-Inventing genius
-Did we mention he was a genius?
Weaknesses:
His plans always have to be elaborate and drawn out
-Leaves clues to stopping him at the scene of his crimes.
-Is more or less a complete weakling when it comes to fighting
History:Edward Nygma was born into a broken home, his mother abandoned him at birth and he’s father was an abusive drunk that constantly beat him. His fathers physical abuse was a result of sheer jealousy, Edward was everything his father wasn’t: young, inquisitive and most of all brilliant, Of course Edward being only a young boy couldn't comprehended this and would often wonder why his father seemed to hate him. It remains quite possibly the one question the Riddler didn’t have an answer for…
When Nashton was a young boy his teacher announces a contest will be held over who can solve a puzzle the fastest, a young Edward Nygma heart was set on winning, craving the accomplishment Even at this early age Edward was naturally gifted at puzzles and riddles. He simply knew he would be the one to solve to win the contest, however he needed a little more time than allocated to do it in. .
So the night before the big day. Eddie snuck out of his house and broke into his class down to the school. There he took photos of the puzzle in question and headed back downstairs to flee the scene. As he climbed back through the broken window and turned to head home... he found that he couldn't take another step. Something was wrong. Something was stopping him from making this a clean getaway....It was too easy...too simple. with nothing missing, the school and the police would consider the broken window to be nothing more than vandalism and Edward would get away with it. Edward reasoned If he was going to go through all this to win?, then were going to know it was him! So he picked up a shade of glass from the window he broke in though and fled.
Of course Eddie ran through the answer of that puzzle in record time. Leaving the rest of his class in his wake, he was awarded the book of riddles for his efforts and spent that entire day memorizing it.
By the end of the week, the school after receiving a tip, searched his bag and found the broken glass shard. The punishment the school gave him was rather light seeing fit only to take away the book which by this stage Edward knew off by heart However, the beating he received from his father that night was brutal. Yet As he lay there, bleeding on the floor of his bedroom, for the first time in his life Eddie smiled. He had found his destiny....
Shortly after leaving school Edward joined up with a traveling circus where he took up the name "Riddler" and cheated the people of Gotham out of their money with impossible to solve riddles. But Nygma soon got bored of that and desired a new challenge...a worthy foe...and luckily enough there was a certain flying rodent that fit the bill perfectly...
