Jackson Napier

## Joker

Joker, Decepticon Leader, Overlord, and New Emperor of Destruction.

**Jackson** "**Jack**" **Napier**, also known as "**Joker**", is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *MDC's* *Captain Batman* series created by Sam Register and Bob Haney. He was a psychopath with a warped, sadistic sense of humor.

The "**Clown Prince of Crime**" was also Batman's archenemy who inspires chaos, a force of fear and chaos against Batman's fight for safety and order. Appearing seemingly out of nowhere, the secrets of his origin were never discovered.

Allegedly however, he was a failed comedian, a petty thief, and a broken family man. During a robbery at the Ace Chemicals, a terrible chemical accident occurred which has caused him to falling into a vat tank of chemical waste.

His exposure bleaches his skin white and turns his hair green and lips bright red; the resulting body disfigurement scarred his mind and drove him insane. The disfigurement belies the chaotic nature underlying his cartoon appearance.

His crimes require no motivation other than his sadistic desire to show people the meaninglessness of life through pain and death, and the narcissism to see the world remade in his own image.

"*Take a hint, old boy, we may have had our differences, but you and me, we're made for each other.*"

—Joker, his views on his relationship with Batman.

## Background

The **Joker** is a serial killer and a super-villain, a dangerous madman who dresses like a clown and commits violent crimes. He is often recognized as **Batman'**s greatest enemy, living in and terrorizing Gotham City, although he spends most of his time in **Arkham Asylum**. In addition to being a deadly and unpredictable physical combatant, he is a brilliant and ruthless criminal mastermind. His crimes require no motivation other than his sadistic desire to show people the meaninglessness of life through pain and death, and the narcissism to see the world remade in his own image. He is constantly adapting his personality and his psychosis to respond to the world around him, sometimes a harmless trickster and at others a brutal mass-murderer. Batman is his only worthy opponent, and although he has passed up multiple opportunities to murder the dark knight, he has no such problems with killing **Robin** or crippling **Batgirl**. Although his origins remain unclear and shrouded in mystery, it is also known that prior to the chemical accident that scarred his mind and body he was the small-time criminal **Red Hood**. He has also been a member of the Injustice Gang and the Injustice Avengers.

It has been him falling into a tank of chemical waste that bleaches his skin white and turns his hair green and lips bright red; the resulting disfigurement scarred his mind and drove him insane.

He was a notorious mass murderer, terrorist, and anarchist with a tendency to wear purple clothing, concealing the true force of chaos underneath his colorful appearance.

Despite multiple incarcerations in the infamous Arkham Asylum, he remains gleefully insane - and determined to torment Batman by any means possible. Joker has belonged to many criminal organizations, but his fellow villains fear him almost as much as Gotham City does. He is unpredictable, manic, bloodthirsty, and capable of twisting even the sanest minds to his warped plans.

With no super-powers beyond his capacity for incredible violence and destruction, he prided himself on being the one criminal in Batman's extensive Rogues' Gallery who shared a unique connection to the Dark Knight, often pushing the hero to his ultimate limits in physical and psychological battles.

His weapons include Joker toxin, pistols, nuclear warheads, various joke props and gags, and a sick enjoyment of pain and fear.

**The Joker** was a notorious mass murderer, terrorist, and anarchist with white skin, green hair, and red lips with a tendency to wear purple clothing, concealing the true force of chaos underneath his colorful appearance. Appearing seemingly out of nowhere, his true identity and origin were never discovered. With no super-powers beyond his capacity for incredible violence and destruction, the Joker prided himself on being the one criminal in Batman's extensive Rogues' Gallery who shared a unique connection to the Dark Knight, often pushing the hero to his ultimate limits in physical and psychological battles.

As intelligent as he was violent, the Joker formulated countless plans to destroy Gotham City, which led to the brutal deaths of thousands of men, women, and children over the years, to simply feed his lust for anarchy and notoriety, torment Batman and his allies, and satisfy his sadistic sense of humor. Defining his life through his battles with the Dark Knight, whose unbreakable moral code greatly fascinated him, the Joker disturbingly viewed Batman as his greatest enemy and friend to engage in a game of cat and mouse with.

To this end, Joker embarked on an endless quest to corrupt Batman by attempting to entice the hero to take a life, even if it was the villain's own life, and create as much destruction and chaos as possible. Emerging within the criminal underworld on Christmas Eve to begin his reign of terror by seizing control over Black Mask's operations and the criminal underworld, the Joker was one of Batman's oldest enemies and often responsible for some of the most horrendous and tragic moments of his life, including the abduction, torture, and murder of Jason Todd, the paralysis of Barbara Gordon, and the death of Talia al Ghul.

With an aptitude to escape imprisonment and even cheat death on numerous occasions, Joker's battles with the Dark Knight waged on for over a decade. Towards the final stages of his battles with Batman, one of Joker's later plans would forever change the course of Gotham and serve as the catalyst for events that would rock the foundations of the city with the rest of the world in the crossfires.

## Personality

But despite his natural charisma, he maintains leadership through a mix of brute strength, military cunning, cruelty, terror, treachery, and ruthlessness. He is extremely intolerant of treachery and deals with said treacherous bots using methods of violent, vicious no-nonsense efficiency.
