Riddler

## How Riddler joined the Tourney

Driven by a compulsive hunger for attention and desire to prove his intellect to the world, Edward Nigma fashioned himself into the iconic villain known simply as The Riddler. Creating complex conundrums and death traps, Nigma prides himself in watching his helpless victims fail to find solutions to his puzzles and meet with grim fates as he gloats over his superior intellect. Batman is the only person Nigma has ever met with the intellect and abilities to not only solve his riddles, but outsmart him, a fact that drives Nigma further over the edge.
