Heeere's Harley!(For full effect, read in the voice of your choice ofArleen Sorkin,Tara Strong,Hynden Walch,Jenny Slate,Kaley Cuoco,Melissa Rauch,Lady Gaga, orMargot Robbie.)OKAY, BOZOS, LISTEN AND LISTEN GOOD, 'CUZ I AIN'T GONNA REPEAT MYSELF!!Ahem. Name's Harleen Quinzel.Call me Harley. Everyone does.Anywho, I wasMr. J's number one gal, right hand psychopathic bitch, andPerky Female MinionsinceThe '90s. I was brought in inBatman: The Animated Seriesin 1992 so he could have him a female minion. From there, I started appearing more and more until finallyI got into the comics themselves(Eeeee!). And I've been part of the DC menagerie ever since.Buuuuuut if you wanna get all the backstory stuff, fine. My real name is Harleen Frances Quinzel, fresh outta psychiatry school, I was transferred to Arkham Asylum. Once there, I was made the personal therapist to Mr. J. Best day of my life! Once we started talking, we realized there was a connection between us,and I dropped my dreams to be with the guy. No regrets!noteWell, mostly.Anyway, ever since, it's been me and Mr. J... okay, sometimes I go solo, but I ain't ever gonna leave my man for good. No matter HOW bad he treats me. Okay, so my relationship with Mr. J ain't all sunshine and lollipops, but hey, what relationship is? There've been times when Mr. J did stuff I wasn't exactly on the ball with... Aaaand there have been times where Mr. J's gotten physical with me... but he's my puddin' through and through, and we stick together like glue.'Course, my whole life don't revolve completely around Mr. J.. I gots a girlfriend (FRIEND WHO'S A GIRL... maybe a lil more than that... A girl's gotta eat!) inPoison Ivy. When I ain't hangin' around Mr. J, you can find me with Pam. We're pretty close, too.Anyway, since I been 'round the DC world so long, I've appeared in plenty of DC works too. I even got some big, important roles. Like the time Itried toavenge Mr. J's deathin a DLC forBatman: Arkham City. Orthe time I had to work with Batman, orthose two timesI was doin' hero duty with some other villains(andthat time I 'adopted' a diamond thief). So, yeah, as you can tell, soon enough, DC realized I can be more than just arm candy.Here's some tropes that apply to meActing for Two:invokedIn thatone cartoon,Tara Strongvoices both me and Batgirl! Since our civilian identities are besties, we talk to each other a lot!Adaptational Heroism: In the first version ofDC Super Hero Girls, I'm actually one of the good guys! Who'da thunk it? I was also one of the good guys working for Bats inInjustice 2, only becauseSupermanis causin' chaos in my town, our town, Gotham...just so he can rule it with an iron fist after killing Mr. J!Adaptational Skimpiness: Theusual spoilsportsmusta had a fit when they saw me prancing aroundArkham Asylum in that nurse's outfit. Well if you were trying ta impress your Puddin', you'd maybe try to get him to notice ya too! I musta liked it, since I ditched the old ensemble and started wearing stuff that showed off a lot more of me than I ever did.Affectionate Nickname:I gave one to Mr. J — he's myPuddin' and no one else's!Red happens to like it when I call her Red.Ascended Fangirl: How awesome was it that I actually got to work withWonder Womanherself! The real Wonder Woman!Too bad thatone version of mekinda learned what it meant aboutmeeting your heroes.Asshole Victim: Sure, a lot of guys I kill tend to becopsand the occasional super creep, but sometimes you just gotta do your civil duty and take on the filth of society. Ask Mr. J just how that worked out for him.Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: I'm one of the girlier villainesses out there, starting out as Mr. J'sPerky Female Minion. Once I ditched the harlequin suit, I started wearin' crop tops that show off my abs. Like what ya see?Batter Up!: Another of my weapons of choice. Anything that's good to do some damage, I'm game.Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Psycho though I may be, I didn't go through all that college just to let my psychology degree go to waste! While we're on that subject, let mesit down with ya and discuss how often you've been visiting this site.Canon Immigrant: Can you believe some guy made me fora cartoon?Then it turns outthe people loved me, and they thought I'd be a perfect fit for Batsy's home turf! Ahh, Hollywood. Talk about a stroke of brilliance.* Cloudcuckoolander: You know it!Crusading Widow: No way I was lettin' Bats get away withletting Mr. J die!! Sure it was inone of Batbrain's games,but I missed him.Cute, but Cacophonic: WHAT WAS THAT?! ...Ahem. Well, sure,someof the girls who lend me their voicesdoplay me high an' loud thanks to dear Arleen's defining portrayal of myself, but call me that again and we'll see who's cacophonic!Defecting for Love: I quit bein' a goody two-shoes thanks to Mr. J.Does Not Like Spam: Yck! Donottry and feed me any fish!No! No no no no no!I'll puke my guts out from onebiteof that stuff!The Dog Bites Back: Now don't get me wrong, I've put up a lot with Mr. J, but that doesn't mean I ain't afraid to get rough when push comes to shove. Even he knows I got a mean right.Drop the Hammer: Like I said onNew 52, nothing says 'l'chaim' like a girl dressed in a stripper clown outfit wielding a hundred-pound mallet.Empowered Badass Normal: Not to toot my own horn, but Ididget into college on a gymnastics scholarship. Could have gone to the Olympics if I wanted. Anyway, Red gave me this mean shot ofSuper Serumthat made me even better! Stronger, more agile, and immune to most poisons on the planet.Even Evil Has Standards: Okay, maybe I don't have a problem with blowing up people, trashing property,using Smylex on some squirrels, oroccasionally speeding through downtown. But you so much as hurt one of those cute little critters, and I'll make you wish it was Batbrain whacking you!Expy: I was based on a gal namedCalliope Jones, who had a dream version that was dressed as a harlequin. Get it?Face–Heel Turn: Mr. J convinced me to give up the psychiatry gig and be a villain.Heel–Face Revolving Door: That's not to say I haven't given the hero thing a try or two. Bats' even beenletting me join in on his little crime-fighting family gatherings lately!Fluffy Tamer: Aww, how could anyonenotlove my babies? Bud and Lou are such good boys for me! I mean, they'll eat your face if they don't like ya, and they don't like most people, but still!Fountain of Expies: Wouldn't ya know it, I managed to inspire a bunch of imitators to capitalize on my gig! From asome flexible gal from a world where people can move rocks, water, fire, and tornadoesto asmaller version of my Suicide Squad version that's cyberized.Girlish Pigtails: I sometimes wear my hair like that to go with the cap. You like it?Handy Feet: Go ahead and chain me up if you want! I'll just use my toes to pick the lock and escape!Has a Type: Wait, you think Ivy's manipulating me too? ...Eh, I don't really care that much.Pretty sure that only applies to my original version anyway.Insistent Terminology: Look. Things with the Joker weren't great. I wised up eventually. So get it right; these days, I'm Mr. J'sex-girlfriend.Lady Swears-a-Lot: In my owncartoonandmovie, I sure love to curse. Did you know that Batbrain likes to #^%& bats?Large Ham: Well, you can't blame me for wanting to be the fun in the room! Wait, You did?BOOORING!Love Interest: I'm Mr. J's. Ain't he the bee's knees? And as it turns out, Red's got it for me too! Ain't life just romantic?Love Martyr: So what if Mr. J has abused me both verbally and physically, and tried to get me killed more than once? I'd still do anything for my Puddin'!Except when it gets so much that I wouldn't.Miniature Senior Citizens:Seems I become this in my old age inone movie. Ah well, least my grandkids inherited my gorgeous good looks.Ms. Fanservice: And you better believe it buster! Sure my classic outfit wasn't exactly an eye catcher, but did ya really think itwasn't gonna show anything?I mean, ya can't stop drooling over my new ensemble! Might as well show Mr. J what he's missing out on...cause he ain't getting any! And if ya know what's good for ya,you'd better not either!The Nicknamer: What? Ya saying just because I don't always call Mistah J, Red, or B-Man by their usual handles that I got a habit? So what? That's how you know I like ya.Even Batsy's okay sometimes.Obfuscating Stupidity:So my college days were a little hit or miss(my OG selfwas a gym scholar andmy self on young Batsy's showlearned through aCorrespondence Course), but Igotmy psychology degree! I just don't like to flaunt how smart I am all the time like some people.Perky Female Minion: I started out as one of these for Mr. J. I may be solo now, but that don't mean I had to give up bein' perky.Red and Black and Evil All Over: I'd like to see YOU rock a red and black harlequin outfit better than I can!Deadpool:CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.Steven Ulysses Perhero: No, seriously, with a name like Harleen Quinzel, it's a wonder the cops don't catch on when I decide to do some psych practice!Super Serum: So the first time I ever visited Ivy's hideout, she whipped up this nasty little booster shot to give me as much poison immunity as she's got so I wouldn't die from all the nasty mutant pollen or toxic waste (depends on where she was set up at the time). Had a bunch of other great side effects that made meeven better than an Olympic-grade gymnast.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny:One time, I duked it out withthis crazy broad callin' herself Jinxat the carnival!She mighta won in the end, but at least I went out with a bang!Unwitting Pawn/She Knows Too Much: I still rememberthat one timeMr. J abused me! I was blinded into believing he loved me.But NAH, he tossed me justbecause he can! I revealed my plan to go against Mr. J in secrecy, and he pushed me off his office room?I gotta say, I should consider myself lucky since Bats gave Mr. J an ass-kicking of a lifetime.Villainous Harlequin: Well DUUUUUH! I AM called Harley Quinn.


PUNY BANNER ANGRY!!!! TURN INTO HULK!!!YOU NO LIKE!!!!"HULKSMASH!"—Hulk(This page is best read in the voices of eitherLou FerrignoorFred Tatasciorefor the Hulk's various incarnations, and eitherBill Bixby,Eric Bana,Edward Norton,Mark Ruffalo,Neal McDonough,Gabriel MannorTroy Bakerfor Banner (or Professor Hulk).)INCREDIBLE HULK IS COMIC CHARACTER!!! FIRST APPEAR IN PUNY MARVEL'S"Incredible Hulk"Vol. 1 #1 (May, 1962), CREATED BYSUNGLASSES COMIC MANANDPINK PUFFBALL MAN!!! AT FIRST NO ONE LIKE HULK, HIS SERIES CANCELED AT #6 (March, 1963)!!! AFTER THAT OTHER SERIES USE HULK AS GUEST STAR FOR NEXT FEW YEARS. HULK GET SECOND CHANCE IN PUNY SERIES"Tales to Astonish". HULK FEATURE THERE FOR #60-101 (October, 1964-March, 1968). THEN IT GET NEW NAME AFTER HULK! IT CALLED:"Incredible Hulk" vol. 2. HULK APPEAR IN PUNY ISSUES #102-474 (April, 1968-March, 1999). HULK ALSO STAR IN PUNY SHORT-LIVED TITLES AFTER! HULK BECOME ONE OF PUNY MARVEL'S MOST FAMOUS CHARACTERS, NO ONE EVER FORGET ABOUT HULK!GRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!TranslationThe Incredible Hulk is a comic book character who first appeared in Marvel'sIncredible Hulk Vol. #1, in May 1962, created byStan LeeandJack Kirby. Unfortunately, the Incredible Hulk was at first rather unpopular, with his first series being canceled after issue #6. However, the Incredible Hulk made several guest appearances in other comics over the next years, and eventually returned as a main character inTales to Astonish. Hulk featured in these comics from issue #60 (October 1964) to issue #101 (March 1968), until the series was named after him, the so-calledIncredible HulkVol. #2. Hulk has appeared in every issue since #102 until #474 (that's April 1968 until March 1999). The Hulk also made a number of appearances in some short-lived titles, establishing himself as one of Marvel's most popular characters.YOU NOT LIKE HULK WHEN HULK ANGRY!ANGRIER HULK GET,STRONGER HULK GET!HULK WAS PUNY BRUCE BANNER, BUT BANNER GET HIT BYGAMMA RAYSAND TURN INTO HULK WHEN PUNY BANNER GET MAD!TranslationThe Incredible Hulk was originally a man named Bruce Banner, until he was exposed to gamma radiation. Now, moments of anger trigger a transformation into the Incredible Hulk, a (usually) green-skinned monstruosity who possessesSuper StrengthandNigh-Invulnerability.HULK GET IN MANY FIGHTS ANDSMASH LOTS OF THINGS! BUT MOST PEOPLE HULK BEATS UPDESERVE BEAT UPOR ANNOY HULK! HULK NOT WANT TO MAKE TROUBLE, BUTWORLD CAUSE LOTS OF TROUBLE FOR HULK!MAKE HULK ANGRY! GRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!TranslationBruce does the best he can to prevent transformations into the Hulk and generally wishes to be left to his own devices; however, there are always entities whojust don't get the hint, which leads to BruceHulking Out. Hulk's brutal rampages are generally highly destructive and frightening to behold, but due to the nature of his trigger, more often than not, the targets of Hulk's violence provoke it.HULK NOT USUALLY HELP PEOPLE, BUT HULK LIKE TO HELP HULK'S FRIENDS! HULK HELP THEM DO GOOD BECAUSE HULK IS STRONGEST!TranslationBruce/The Hulk is usually considered aHeroic Neutral. He doesn't get involved with conflicts surrounding him unless they target himself or people he cares about, in which case,run.IN MARVEL UNIVERSE,HULK IS STRONGEST THERE IS!, EVEN STRONGER THANPUNY GOD WITH HAMMER!HULK STRONGER THAN EVERYONE IN PUNY DC UNIVERSE TOO!!!! ONLY ONE WHO COME CLOSE IS PUNYRED CAPE MANINCROSSOVERSTORIES. RED CAPE MAN MAKE HULK ANGRY!HULK RIP OFF RED CAPE MAN'S HEAD!!!!!!TranslationIn the Marvel universe, the Incredible Hulk has been demonstrated to be one of its most powerful denizens, if notthestrongest. He has defeatedThe Mighty Thor, as well asSupermaninCrossoverstories withDC Comics.HERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT HULK CAN DO!HULK CAN HEAL HIMSELF! GOOD FOR MORE SMASHING!NO ONE CANREAD HULK'S MIND. IT BETTER ANGRIER THAT HULK IS!!HULK SEE DEAD PEOPLE!!!HULK NOT TOO SCARED BUT HULK INABILITY TO SMASH MAKES HULK ANGRY!!!HULK FIND PLACE WHERE HE BECOME HULK! THAT BECAUSE HE FIND CORPSE OFEVILFUTURE HULKWHO TRY TO KILL HULK! HULK IS ONLY HULK! NO WANT TWO HULKS!AAAAAAAARRRRRGHGGGGGHGHHHH!!!!PUNY BANNER KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT GAMMA RADIATION! EVEN MORE THANPUNY STRETCHY MANANDPUNY STUPID DOCTOR DOOM!!! INGOOD COMIC FOR KIDSPUNY BANNER ANDMETAL MANARE SMARTEST ONES.BUT NOT AS GOOD AS HULK!!!!!!!!!!!!!TranslationAlthough hisSuper Strengthis his most obvious power, the Hulk also possesses aHealing Factor, resistance to psychic powers (including telepathy), and the ability to see ghosts and apparitions. However, one of his more interesting abilities is his ability to to sense the location of his original transformation anywhere in the world. Also, while not a power from Hulk himself, Bruce Banner is the world's leading expert on nuclear radiation, to the point where he surpasses Iron Man and Doctor Doom in this field.HULK BECOME DIFFERENT PERSON A LOT! HERE ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT HULK BECOME!Bruce Banner: Hi, I'm Dr. Bruce Banner, and I'm in control of this body most of the time. While I happen to be a highly successful scientist, I have no superpowers in my default state. However, I'm also emotionally repressed, and the big guy likes to come out at moments like... uh oh...PUNY BANNER IS SMART BUT NOT STRONG LIKE HULK!GRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!Savage Hulk:THIS IS BEST HULK! STRONGEST THERE IS! HULKTALK GOOD TOO! HULK WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE BECAUSE PEOPLE NO LIKE HULK, BUTHULK WANT FRIENDSAND BE LOVED TOO, WHICH MAKE HULK GO ON ADVENTURE SOMETIMES. OF COURSEHULK GET ANGRY TOO EASYTHAT MEAN HULK IS STRONGEST OF PEOPLE HE BECOME!Joe Fixit: 'Bout time we got done with the shouting. Call me Joe Fixit, a.k.a., the Gray Hulk. I was the first Hulk ya ever saw (something about color and personality problems in the early comics), but don't mix me up with the green giant over there. Normally, I only come out at night or when Bruce decides to "let me out". I'm no egghead like Banner, but at least I can think (and talk) like a normal person. I also enjoy the finer things in life.Good food, expensive clothes, ladies, and theoccasional sarcastic quip. I might lack the full, raw strength of the green guy and have a rather flimsy grasp on all that sciencey geek stuff Banner does, but, let's be honest; compared to my craftiness and natural knack for manipulation, those things have always seemed rather overrated to me.I'm also not afraid of getting my hands dirty to get what I want, so you'd better not get in my way. Some head shrink thinks I'm supposed to be the teen Banner never let himself be as a kid.I enjoy a good scrap now and then, but don't mix me up with thatMr. Fixit. Currently I'm "sharin'” Banner's pencil-necked geek form underAl's take on Big Green. Doesn't make me any less dangerousas Bushwhacker and Fortean learned the hard way.Now I'm back in full form and then some thanks toX-Ray of the U-Foes bombarding me with Cosmic Rayswhich I absorbed andHulked Out.The Merged Hulk: Also known as "The Professor", I am yet another one of the many forms the Hulk can transform into. Bruce Banner wanted me to be the most idealistic Hulk there could be, but alas, it was not to be. I was actually created by Doc Samson in an attempt to cure me of my Multiple Personality Disorder. When I get angrier, I get weaker. If I grow too angry, I become the screaming behemoth who's been breaking your ear drums every time he speaks. It's quite a good thing that Bruce Banner was able to install this failsafe in this personality, even if it is my physically weakest one.The Green Scar: The word "strong" doesn't even begin to describe how powerful I am.I wound up enslaved as a gladiator on the planet Sakaar when a few puny humans decided I was too dangerous to stay on earth,and I became the greatest fighter their arena ever had. The people on Sakaar started thinking of me as their Messiah, the "Sakaarson" when I freed myself and fought against their insane king. But that's just a fairy tale. The ones that call me the Worldbreaker are the ones who are right. Don't let my apparent calm fool you. I am theangriestHulk.I Am a Monster. And despite what the others might say,Iam the strongest there is.Doc Green: WhenBetty Ross'assassins tried to eliminate Banner and my lesser selves, I emerged courtesy of Stark's Extremis virus. Smarter than Banner and stronger than my other selves, think of me as a superior version of the "Professor". I realized that there were too many Hulks in the world and tragedy would befall them everytime, so I decided that I would cure them whether they like it or not.Immortal Hulk/Devil Hulk: You know who I am? I'm the darkest side to the Hulknotesure, Maestro, Guilt Hulk, Nul, and Kluh all claim to be Bruce's true dark side, but a good chunk of them were created by outside help, so they don't count, andthe Devil Hulk you saw in earlier issues was just how Banner saw me... theoriginalHulk from back inJackie'sdays and I've decided to come back to play. What makes me the strongest? Simple. I can't die. I've been 'killed' so many times I'm actually immune to it. Oh, Bruce can die until the sun goes down... and that's when I get a chance to have some fun. Wereit not for that particular handicap, I'd be on par with the Green Scar, but what can ya do?Apparently, Banner and I solved that little problem recently. Although somehow,I appearently died for good. But you all know by now thatthis isn't how it works. I figure I'll be back sooner than you think and you don't needa bunch of little magic balls to do that.WHEN HULK MAD, ONLY FEW CAN STOP HULK SMASHING EVERYTHING! PRETTY LADY, LITTLE GUY WHO KNOWS WHO HULK IS ANDGREEN GIRLY HULKCANHUG HULK TO STOP HIM SMASHING! ONLY ONES THAT CAN! BUT STUPID SOLDIER MAN KEEPS ATTACKING HULK WHILE STILL HULK! GIVE HULK PAIN!

I basically warned Tony, Strange and Wong that Thanos was coming to gather the rest of the stones, and had to hide since he refused to come out. I had to seek out Steve and the Vision, alongside Romanoff, Rhodes, and Maximoff. We all agreed to head to Wakanda to allow Shuri to destroy the Mind Stone without killing Vision but then he came. Even now he refused to come out so I used one of Tony's hulkbuster armors to engage with Thanos (even killing Obsidian by sacrificing one of the arms) but then he trapped me in some rocks and killed half the universe before escaping. I was mortified that I also couldn't do anything to Thanos either.Even after going after Thanos on his retirement planet to undo the damage only to see he made it irreversible caused me to realize that if neither he nor I could take on Thanos separately, then maybe we shouldmergeso that it would be a lot easier to deal with such a case.Eventually, during the five year gap, Hulk and I ultimately found a way to become a single being, dubbed "Smart Hulk" by the public. I'm kind of like the Professor in this form, in that I've got the Hulk's brawn and still have my brains. But I don't have all of the Hulk's strength, and that's really an issue when you're about to use the Infinity Gauntlet to undo Thanos' damage inflicted upon the universe. I mean, in honesty, I only chose to do that because the stones had gamma radiation, and I felt like I was made for doing the snap. But my right arm got damaged and I wasn't as much of a help as I would have been during the Battle of Earth. So by the time when I checked onShang Chi's rings, I had to revert back to human form to heal and ended up with a sling on my arm. But then one day, when I was driving with my cousinJen, this Sakaaran ship showed up out of nowhere, and we got into a little accident. She got infected with my gamma blood and turned into a Hulk. So I turned back into Smart Hulk, healed my arm thanks to Jen's Hulk blood, and taught her the ways of being a Hulk. But she turned out to be better than me as a Hulk in almost every way, and she ended up heading back to her attorney job. Well, kinda. After she Hulked out on the job, she got fired from her old job, but got hired to help with this superhuman law division. As for me, I got on the Sakaaran ship and headed off to Sakaar. And during that time, I had a son, Skaar. And yes, I showed him to my Earth-family. What comes next, I don't know.]DECADE ALSO SHOW HULK IN CARTOON STUFF!!!

After one team up withThe Incredible Herculesin Olympus, Herc said there were two paths we could take to get back to Earth.

I provoked him when he initially refused. I know I had no chance of beating aSkyfather, but I hoped offering myself up would be enough.

While not as smart as Banner, my greater intelligence helps me in combat, and I can determine at a glance if certain radiation is cosmic in nature. When I become the Green Scar, I become much more intelligentandmuch stronger, but am still perpetually angry. Also, my colleagues and I often demonstrate great cunning in determining how to make best use of our strength, or to otherwise come up with intelligent tactics when we have to. Even the Savage Hulk demonstrates this when necessary, although he would never admit it.]Joe Fixit: Hell, it's in my name; throw me at a problem and I'll whip ya up a solution right quick. I know I might not have Banner's academic knowledge and I'm not quite as strong as any of the green fellas, but I still got a pretty solid head on my shoulders and a mean right hook.

Planning to extend the current description, aiming to write it in a similar format to a news article/opinion columnI'd also advise that dialogue should aim to be written to be more original, it's better to focus on emulating Jameson's character and seeing how he'd act when demonstrating his trope page than to simply quote his greatest hits, as great as they are"Who is Spider-Man?"...he's a CRIMINAL, that's who he is! Robbie, move that to page one. And with this headline: "Masked Menace Terrorizes New York"!(For an authentic experience, it's my recommendation that you read the following in the voice ofJ. K. Simmons, perhislongertrackrecord. However, the voices ofPaul Kigman,Robert F. Simon,William Woodson,Edward Asner,Daran NorrisorDarin De Paulwill adequately work as alternatives, along with others who I'm sure I've missed. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and please, enjoy the p— WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THE COFFEE MACHINE'S BROKEN!? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T—GET IT FIXED WITHIN THE NEXT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OR YOU'RE FIRED, JARED!)Greetings. This is J. Jonah Jameson, esteemed reporter, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and publisher of New York's finest newspaperand/or digital media outlet, the Daily Bugle.And here at the Bugle, we take pride in celebrating all the heroes who strive to make our world a better place: the emergency services who constantly cleanse our streets of disease, disaster, and terror; the thousands of brave men and women fighting overseas to protect and serve us back home; the visionary scientists, engineers, and astronauts like my very own son, John; the intrepid writers and reporters such as yours truly who fight to give the people a voice in times of hardship; all the way down to the average Jeans of our very city, adamant in their struggles against injustices such as homelessness or cultural discrimination, right from the ground level.That all said, we at the Bugle aim to give honest answers first. We're hopeful, not overtly and foolishly idealistic, and we're willing to judge or even condemn those who use the guise of "heroism" for their own selfishness or ego. Those who spout theatrics and performance while having no sense of justice orresponsibility. This brings me to today's topic, yet again…Spider-Man.Spider-Man.Does whatever he wants, and what does that web-headed hooligan have to show for it? I'lltellyou what he has to show for it! A streak of desecration, destruction, andrampantcarelessness, that's what! Forhow longhave we New Yorkers spent watching him vandalize our property with hisdisgustingweb fluid?How many timeshas he draggedothercostumed psychopaths into the streets with him? How many disasters andruined liveswill it take for us tofinallydeal with this so-called "hero" like the unhingedMENACEthat he is!?We've all spent years watching his "contributions" to society like disappointed parents, but nevertheless, I won't be deterred, andyoushouldn't be, either. And if you're listening,"Spidey", know this: we're New Yorkers, and we won't back down until you're unmasked, jailed, and run out of town!Preferablyin that order!On to the tropes section of today's issue (whatever that means):Badass Normal:It was one of those days, I guess, but I once gavea giant lizardstanding outside the Bugle’s window a good piece of my mind.And during thatInfernomalarkey, I showed those demons why it's a bad idea to pick a fight with an angry New Yorker who's down to his last nerve!And back when I was in high school, I trained as a boxer along with being in the photography club. When three of my high school's top athletes started hassling me, I taught them a lesson they never forgot. My classmate Joan saw the fight, and she was so impressed she became my darling wife.Even when on the ropes, I have nerves of steel.When the Green Goblin himself had me by the neck in my own office, Irefusedto tell him who was giving me pictures of Spider-Man. Despite my status and corner office, I'm still a journalist at heart... and a journalistnevergives up his sources!WRITE THAT DOWN, THAT WAS A GOOD ONE!!Berserk Button: Anything involvingTHAT MISERABLE WALL CRAWLING MENACE!Like howI keep getting callersevery now and thenwho say they "know" he wasn't involved with whatever crime he allegedly stopped.'Have to cut it short since there's no point trying to reason with them... People these days.Cigar Chomper: I used to be one of the most iconic examples in comics, at least before Joe Quesada made the entire Marvel Universe butt out. I was never without a good cigar, and I thoroughly enjoyed them.Da Editor: I'm also "Da Chief", and don't you forget it! And learn tospell, for crying out loud!Everyone Has Standards:...there's one rule above all others.We at the Bugle only acceptGENUINEnews. The fastest way to get yourself outta this job...make fake pictures.One Bruckner kid tried itand bit the dust. And for GOOD REASON.George Jetson Job Security: THAT'S ENOUGH BACKCHAT!YOU'RE FI— wait, you don't work for me.YOU'RE UN-FIRED!NOW GET A REAL JOB, TROPERS!Going for the Big Scoop: I made a name for myself as a reporter doing this. Even as theBuglepublisher, I've still got into the thick of it. I've risked my life multiple times, butnothingwill stop me from getting my story!Hair-Trigger Temper: Hmmph. Some people say I'm this, but is it my fault that I'mSurrounded by Idiots? You'd beEnraged by Idiocytoo if you had to put up with the crap I've dealt with!Intrepid Reporter: Damn right! I made my bones as a newspaper reporter working for theDaily Bugle, exposing corruption and helping oppressed groups fight for their civil rights. I kept it up after I bought theBuglewhen it was in bad financial shape. I've been fighting for the city and the country I love for decades...and I've done itwithoutany fancy costumes or superpowers!Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Alright, alright...I'll admit I've done things like pay for Parker's legal fees when he wasWrongly Accused, not to mention his wedding, directed my staff to make information about Parker's wife Mary Jane priority one when she was abducted, given Betty Brant her mother's job after the mother died and Betty needed to support herself and moved heaven and earth to get a pardon for my old friend Joe Robertson when he was coerced into keeping silent about a crime. Just don't tell anybody, alright? I have a reputation to maintain!Large Ham: You can't earn any respect without being the biggest person in the room!Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman: I'll take a moment to admit that Parker is... somewhat respectable. Yes, he's often indulgent in his youth and stupidity (they all are), but the kid's had a consistent track record in getting my needed photos of Spider-Man for years, and he deserves some credit for it. I'm sure that webhead justwisheshe could be evenhalfthe man Parker is, warts and all.And don't youdareask aboutwhat I've been up to with either of them lately, you'll getnothingouttame!Got it?!It's not like a place like this makes that much sense to begin with!Malicious Slander: Some people havethe nerveto claim that my reporting on Spider-Man's numerous criminal activities is this. And I resent that accusation!Slander isspoken!When it's print, it'slibel.My Greatest Failure: ...My vendetta against the web-slinger has led me to do some things I'm not proud of, namely financing the creation of the Scorpion and the Spider-Slayers. I've paid restitution to their victims over the years...and this is still something I regret.Parental Substitute: Just what are you getting at?Just because I gave Betty her mother's job after her mother died and she needed to support herself, and later gave her away at her wedding, gave Parker a job after he lost his uncle and helped him out financially on the sly, and mentored that sweetheartCindy Moonwhen she was breaking into the journalism business, you think I have a paternal interest in any of them?I'd tell you where to shove your accusation, but this is a family website...Reasonable Authority Figure: Yes, I have very high standards, but I can also recognize when people actually live up to them. When Parker and reporter Joy Mercado returned from Ireland after doing a story onThe Troubles, I went off like a volcano at all the expenses they charged...right up until I saw the dynamite story and pictures they brought back. The photos were so good, I skeptically asked Parker if he was the one who took them.The Scrooge: That Ebenezer fellow had the right idea. I'll admit I can be a bit...frugal on things like building maintenance and staff parties, but when you live in New York it's just good sense!Self-Deprecation: The dearly departedStan Leesaid that he based me off other people's image of him back in the day. Hmmph-he might think he was depicting himself as an arrogant hardass, but he wasclearlyjust reflecting his determination and high standards!Now go! Get out of here! I wantpictures!Pictures of Spider-Man! ...What do you mean this isn't that kind of website? Okay, then get metropesabout Spider-Man!And I want them finished before you start, and before you finish, get me some coffee,and this page could use some more tropes itself!'Need another word about this? How 'bout "scram"? Or two words, "Scram, kid!"Or seventeen, "Get off of this page in two-point-three seconds before I staple you to a flagpole!" What are you waiting for, Chinese New Year?!


LISTEN UP, NERDS AND NERDETTES! This is myself-demonstratingpage. As scintillating as it is, you don't want to link to it when you're referring to me. UseCharacters.Batman The Jokerinstead—unless youreallywant the mods (who else?) to get up close and personal with you. Wouldn't that be fun?And by the way...For full effect, why don'tcha read this in the voice ofMark Hamill,Jeff Bennett,Jack Nicholson,Heath Ledger,Jared Leto,Joaquin Phoenix,Barry Keoghan,Troy Baker,John Dimaggio,Kevin Michael Richardson,Michael Emerson,Brent Spiner,Richard Epcar,Alan Tudyk,Zach Galifianakis,Cameron Monaghan, orCesar Romero? Whichever strikes your fancy. I'm flexible that way. Heck, if you're feelingspeculative, feel free to read this in the voice ofTim Currytoo, or evenBrad Dourif. And for those of you Spanish speakers over in Latin America reading this translated, reading this in the voice ofRubén LeonorJosé Antonio Macíaswill surely help remedy the"Blind Idiot" Translation!"I've been putting smiles on facesnote, whether they wanted any or not,since 1940!"noteAnd for those obsessive freaks who reallymustknow who I've got mounted on the wall behind me, introducing clockwise from the left:I've got Ol' Ozzy Cobblepot,the newly-extinct Last Son of Krypton,that animal-loving freakshow,one of Batsy's many kids(admit it, you're hoping that'sJason's head there, aren't you?),Jimmy Gordon's little girl(hope that wheelchair's comfy for ya, Barb!),the wonderful(a term I useveryloosely)woman who's honest and truthful to the end,and, of course, the Dork Knight himself!Got all that? Good. Now quit dawdling about on this footnote and get to all of the other juicy bits on my page already!General discussion on how to deal with pages like this is at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13011051780A35566200"The Joker is the kind of guy who will come up with a plan to kidnap a scientist and have them create a super-pheromone that will attract little old ladies to a warehouse so Joker can feed them into a woodchipper and use the resulting paste to make counterfeit money so he can buy fuel for his ice rocket that will freeze the entire city which will cause everyone to flock to his beverage vendors who will sell them hot chocolate laced with a mutagen designed to drive everyone insane."—Shamus Young, Stolen Pixels(who put it quite well, if I do say so myself...)Well!Finally got my own page, did I?'bout time! I was created inThe '40s, for Pete's sake! I've been around way longer thanSuperham'scousin! Why'd SHE get her own page first?!noteRhetorical. I know exactlywhat you're all going to say.Weelll, it's nottoobad, I guess... at least I can still gloat toLexyabout getting my own page first... As forthat guy with the yellow ring...? He onlywisheshe was half as scary as me!Oh, you were looking for information on moi? I'm flattered, really, but, uh...SHOULDN'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM ALREADY?!All right, all right, fine.Here'sMy Card(from the bottom of the deck of course) and the lowdown...I am theMonster Clownhiding under your bed!noteEeew, you might need to clean out the dust from under there, chap.Of course, atruefan would want all the gory details fleshed out, yes? So then. There's me, and there'sthe Bat, two peas in a pod. I'm the better-looking pea, of course, but that's beside the point.Billy FingerandBobby Kane, inspired by both the playing card andConrad Veidt'sdeliciouslychilling title character in the 1920s filmThe Man Who Laughs, conjured me up in 1940,back when heroes were allowed to kill, everyone Asian spoke with their R's and L's mixed up, and the art was worse than something drawn by a six-year old brat with colored pencils('course, Jerry Robinson said he had a hand too, but that's not my department)... I gave that flying rodent a good runaround inBatman #1(I was modest enough to give him the title...), and soon enough,I began carving out my own little niche.But, as it turned out, that wasn't enough! No, they planned to whack me in my second appearance! Can you believe that?! But, someone (in this case, Whitney Ellsworth) came through for me, and I lived through a self-inflicted stabbing after all. So, instead of dying painfully, I only had to endure six months of agonizing hospital time! Those were the glory days... I'd show up, make a bit of trouble, kill a couple of people, get foiled by Fatman, and escape at the last minute. Gambling rackets, sniping FBI agents, I've seen (and done) it all. I was even executed once, y'know. 'course,The Grim Reapercouldn't hold me, and I came back... just in time to witness the rising ofThe Comics Code. (Hoo...and some people thoughtIwas evil and insane... heh heh heh...)Maybe I should've stayed buried a bit longer, cuz, you all knowwhat happened next. The Dork Knight and that brat Robin were joined byBatwoman,Bat-Girl, Bat-Hound,Bat-Mite(yeesh, what's next?Bat-butler?), andno one was allowed to kill ever again. And we all lived happily ever after... NOT! Then again, I can't say that it was ever boring. I was allowed to play with bigger toys — everything from my own utility belt to giant record players. (Where the heck does Gotham get all that stuff, anyhow?) I even managed to get all of Gotham City to marvel at my enormousBONER!noteBy the way, when I said "Boner", I meant "Mistake". But I guess that's not asfunny,is it?But nothing lasts forever, does it? (Save the memory ofTom and Jerry.)ComeThe Bronze Age of Comic Books, I was finally allowed to roam free again, and what a joy it was! Blowing off people's heads with exploding cigars and feeding them to sharks! It seems that finally, the heads at DC Comics got brains - it was here that I got my own series! And it lasted all of... nine issues...And I had to lose most of the time.*COUGH*Ah, well, who cares about all that?The '70smight have returned me to life, but it wasThe '80sthat were really my heyday. You might recall an obscure little book calledThe Killing Jokewritten by some nobody calledAlan Moore. If you haven't... GET OVER THERE AND READ IT, AND DON'T CALL YOURSELF A FAN OF MINE UNTIL YOU'VE MEMORIZEDEVERY WORD!Done? Good. Less than a year afterward, DC madethe historical decision of killing off Robin— 'bout time, too. But just a little heads-up, it was Jason Todd,notDick Grayson. Who was Jason Todd? Who cares? All you need to know is thatevery reader hated his guts, enough that theyvotedto have him die. But with an outfit like that, can you really blame them? Heck, at leastthirteenof those votescame from yours truly!Anyhoo, the poll was set up, the calls were made, and I gave poor li'l Jason a spanking he'll never forget. Rest in pieces.noteNot that it lasted. Not only did Glass-Jawed Toddclaw his way out of a shallow grave, but that twerp had the nerve to call himself "Red Hood!" That'smyalias (probably), and he knows it! No one likes a joke thief, especially not the guy named after jokes! ...Where was I? Oh, right...ThenI got shot. And got trapped on an exploding helicopter. And vanished for all of a few months.And Istillmade it back in time for the holidays! From there on, my life's been just one giant rollercoaster ride, 'specially sinceI killed Jimmy Gordon's wife during that earthquake.AndTHEN, I had a shiny new show opening for Bratgirl, the Dead Hood andallBatsy's little sidekicks! Those brats who make my Bats fat, slow, and weak. TskTSK.They found my lack of face...disturbing.HA!And if you thoughtthatwas bad, wait 'til you hear about Eric Border-Hold on, where're you going? D'ya think we're done with my life? Not even close! I've poisoned all the fish on the eastern and western seaboard and tried to patent them! I'vebecome Godand brought the whole universe to its knees! I've killedSiskel & Ebert, fer Pete's sake!But no, you don't care about any of that, do you? I bet you came to this page because you were so impressed by thatpencil trick, ormy apocryphal shenanigans afterwards. No?The dreadlocked barefoot monkey-man with that sexy, sexy laugh, then?Perhaps you remember the days when I faced off withAdam West- who it looks like Irubbedoff on? Thepointy-chinned mewho'sstillfighting theDarkSide? Theyoung, handsomeversion of me with thefiery red hair, running amok inGotham? (Too bad Lexy had toclonehim into hisvery own ersatz Superham!) Themeaty ol' meplayed byJack Nicholson? Thetattooed fella, coming to yourKnightmaresviaa quick stop byol' Cal Swanwick's pad? Thewashed-up comedian turned giggling anarchistwhoruled the Roman Empireonce upon a time?Oh, what about themangled-looking maniacwho's ready to take onthat sparkly vampire in a Batsuitaftersaving the worldfrom giant space gods?Or theSilver Age-esqueme, sounding a lot likethat jolly good sport who even I'm not crazy enough to address? Or was itGod's gift to Gotham, the world, and that Grinchy old bat(deliveredon Christmas Eve!, even!)? Kept on giving, too, when,instead of killing the second bird-brain, I tortured him into joining the dark side (just like I did with little Timmy in theBatman Beyondcontinuity),faking his own death, and becoming anArkham Knight,years before taking over Arkham Asylum and turning into a twenty-foot tall muscleman! (Althoughthat one didn't end too well. Object lesson on steroid use, kids!Oh yeah, andI still continued to torture the drug-induced Bat-Jerky to the point of insanity from beyond the grave! What FUN! That is, until he managed tolock me away forever in the depths of his subconscious.NO FAIR, BATSY! (How was I supposed to know that theexact momentI took over Batsy's psyche was the moment that Good ol' Doctor Crane was injecting him with enough fear toxin to makethe entire eastern seaboardgo bonkers…and thusIwas the one that ended up getting scared, somehow protecting Fatman from psychological harm?)OOH!Or when I got Birdbrain tobite my shiny metalcrowbar?No?
