Batman Villain Figbarf #8

Alias: Wrath

Real Name: William Mallory

Backstory: His parents were sent to jail right around the same time Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered. They were jewel thieves, that were just trying to get by, in the harsh realities of Gotham City. Ever since his parents were locked away, he would come to resent the GCPD, along with the Batman. As William Mallory, he would meet and become good friends with Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. After his first encounter as Wrath went awry, and had to flee the scene, he would go on to recruit his brother, as his trusty sidekick, Scorn.

 

Alias: Scorn

Real Name: Andy Mallory

Backstory: Unlike his brother, Andy doesn't really remember his parents, as he was only a baby when they got locked away. He was pretty much raised by his brother, so Andy values William's opinion more than anything. Upon learning what happened to his parents, he would join his brother as Scorn, villains for hire, sent to tarnish the Batman's name and image. While William got along with Bruce and Dick, Andy did not, often teasing Dick, and always trying to one up him.

 

 

Alias: White Knight

Real Name: N/A

Backstory: Starting a few years after the first appearance of the Batman, this White Knight has its own twisted sense of justice. Dressing itself as a knight, it went around, killing seemingly unconnected victims at first. Though it was figured out rather quickly it kills only those associated with the various criminals that terrorize Gotham City. The motive remains unknown, and White Knight has yet to be caught. Victims include Holly Robinson, Enigma, One of many Alice's Mad Hatter's collected, Ignatius Ogilvy, Penguin's "New Rogues", Ferak, Hazel, Rose and Thorn (The three Sporelings of Ivy), Becky Albright, Mistress of Fear, and finally Jessica and Gilda Dent, although there could be others that have yet to be found by the GCPD.

 

Alias: Cluemaster

Real Name: Arthur Brown

Backstory: Arthur Brown, hosted a game show, much similar to Jeopardy, having to answer questions, given a clue/prompt. Since they aired at basically the same time, and had similar concepts, only one was truly accepted by the general audience. Unfortunately for Arthur Brown, it was Jeopardy, and not his game show that was accepted. The ratings would tank drastically after the second episode aired, which would lead to an early cancellation. The critics found Arthur to be rather bland, and boring as a host. Arthur was furious, not having a job anymore. Still needing to provide for his family, including a daughter that was on the way, he would turn to a life of crime, stealing from whoever he could. Starting out with small heists, he would leave various clues, much similar to the ones he would use on his gameshow, at the scene of the crime. Since it was rather obvious who was committing the crimes, thanks to some of the clues being exactly the same, Batman and the GCPD would find Arthur Brown in his home, in his Cluemaster attire. He would be sent to Arkham Asylum, where he would spend the next couple years, plotting his revenge against the caped crusader. Riddler would break him out, seeing potential in his clues. Cluemaster and Riddler would start a partnership, of clues and riddles, that would try and fool the Dark Knight. Unfortunately, Batman, along with his new Robin, Jason Todd, would find them, with Riddler managing to escape the scene, and all evidence pointing towards Brown. It was revealed that Riddler only broke Arthur out to have him as a scapegoat, since both have a similar gimmick, only seeing Arthur as a pawn. This betrayal led to a rivalry between Cluemaster, and Riddler, one standing the test of time. After recently escaping from Arkham, he would reach out to his cousin, Charles Brown, also known as Kite-Man, for help in his latest scheme in getting revenge on both Batman, and Riddler. Arthur Brown's location is currently unknown.

 

Alias: Chancer:

Real Name: N/A

Backstory: Born and raised in Texas, not much else is known about Chancer's former life.. A thief, known for having quite the lucky streak. He would unknowingly create the villain Nimrod when Chancer would end up framing him for murder of a security guard. He would eventually move to Gotham, where he would encounter Batman for the first time, his lucky streak coming to an end. It was there, inside prison, where he would meet other Misfits, that were, eccentric, to say the least. During a prison break, Chancer would join these Misfits, that would not be seen for another year, cooking up a scheme so dastardly that even the Batman wouldn't be able to stop them. He, along with the other Misfits, are still at large.
