Black Spider (Arkham Series)

==Summary==
Eric Needham, also known as Black Spider, was a vigilante who notoriously killed high-rank criminals to make the streets a safer place to be. The Joker once considered hiring him to kill Batman during his early years, but by that time The Joker was disguised as Black Mask, a powerful mob boss, being what probably caused Needham to refuse.
When the Riddler stole information from illegal government activities and hid them in a pen drive inside his cane, Amanda Waller knew she would need to gather the Task Force X to retrieve it. However, because of Needham's moral compass, it took more than simple negotiation to make him work alongside other criminals, with Waller resorting to threaten his life so he would cooperate.
