### Chucky: 1974 - Present

There is a debate of the effects of nature versus nurture on a child's development. Charles Lee Ray is one of those few monsters who fall decidedly in the 'nature' camp. Those that knew the Ray family would describe a very loving home. There were no apparent signs of the storm brewing within young Charles. Yet, in truth, a dormant monster stirred. At the age of six, Charles' morbid fascination with pain manifested when he willingly bit into an apple harboring a razor blade, feeling exhilaration from the sting of sharp metal against his young flesh.

Charles' life took a dark twist when the Blüdhaven Slasher broke into the Ray household. Charles witnessed his father stabbed by the serial killer before he was taken by his mother to hide in a closet. Ray survived the ordeal, but neither of his parents were so lucky.

After the death of his parents, Charles was relocated to a Gotham City orphanage. Charles' manipulative prowess grew as he played with younger boys, weaving tales of murder into their innocent minds. By the time Charles was 16, he was responsible for numerous deaths and a cascade of other violent crimes.

Fleeing the orphanage, Charles ended up living on the streets and killing for both pleasure and to attain the means of survival. By the time he was twenty-two, Charles was a prolific serial killer whose exploits were featured on the news on a nearly weekly basis, with the media painting him as the monster known only as the Lakeshore Strangler.

Though Charles may have been a dropout of school, he never stopped learning. Charles sharpened his mind as well as his knives. He nurtured his intellect through reading and when he took an interest in the occult, he soon found a mysterious Voodoo practitioner called Jack who agreed to mentor Charles in the dark arts. Charles rewarded his mentor by stealing a powerful amulet from the magician.

Following his theft, Charles appear to have laid low in Burnside, New Jersey where he soon befriended his neighbor, Daniel, and was soon invited to meet the rest of the family including his neighbor, Daniel, and was soon invited to meet the rest of the family, Charles would kill Daniel in an attempt to keep Sarah and her unborn child for himself. However, Sarah despised Charles for what he had done and when Charles realized, and fearing Jack closing in on his location, Charles stabbed Sarah and fled.

Returning to Gotham for one more night of soaking in the city's nightlife before fleeing New Jersey entirely, Charles managed to pick up two women at the My Alibi tavern. As the encounter turned intimate back in a nearby seedy hotel room, Charles spiced things up by bringing out a knife. Much to Charles' delight, one of the two women was into this and assisted Charles in the savage murder of the other. Showered equally in blood and kisses, Charles learned that his red-haired siren's name was Tiffany Valentine. I doubt he knew then how significant a role this deadly dame would play in his life from that moment on.

The two stole a classic car and fled to Gotham, proceeding on to a carnage-filled road trip. Though Tiffany was deeply smitten by her "Chucky", Charles was not sold that Tiffany was the right woman for him. He would abandon her in Central City, the same night that Central City's 911 received an anonymous tip-off to his location.

In an exchange of gunfire, Charles Lee Ray was mortally wounded by Central City Detective Mike Norris. Taking cover in a toy store, a desperate Charles decided to make use of his stolen amulet to transfer his soul into a brand new Good Guy doll, featuring some of the first publicly available reverse-engineered alien software. When the police found the lifeless exsanguinated body of Charles Lee Ray, they mistakenly believed Charles Lee Ray's reign of terror was over. However, while Charles may have died, his soul lived on in "Chucky", who was gifted to a young boy named Andy Barclay. Though the boy may have survived Chucky's murderous machinations, he would continue to be tormented by his 'friend to the end' for many years to come. But Andy wasn't the only one to be caught in Chucky's evil games.

When he wasn't haunting Andy, Chucky had people to see and scores to settle. Chucky found time to kill Tiffany and resurrect her in a Wedding Belle doll, conceive a baby doll with, visit Star City, and tie up some loose ends with a surviving Sarah and her family — framing Sarah's paralyzed daughter Nica for the murders in the process.

Whatever Chucky's up to nowadays is unknown. I hope to find him one day. Even though I haven't dismantled dolls since I was a boy, it should be child's play.

## Threat Assessment

### Methodology

#### Natural-Born Killer

For unknown reasons, Chucky seems to have been born with an incomplete soul. It seems likely that a Scourge entity joined with him when he was born or shortly thereafter. It is possible that this Scourge entity has some previous interest in voodoo which may have influenced Chucky's interest in the magical practices.

#### Personality

Chucky embodies the characteristics of a classic sociopath, indulging in sadism and taking pride in his homicidal tendencies. His unpredictable nature allows him to quickly shift his murderous focus. His relationships, particularly with Tiffany Valentine and their offspring are a chaotic mix of violence, manipulation, and twisted affection. Chucky's disregard for women, combined with brief glimmers of morality — as seen as his aversion to sexual abuse and his vocal support for LGBTQIA2S+ persons — paints a conflicting portrait. This menacing toy is a cocktail of the worst human traits, making him one of the world's most dangerous killers.

#### Killcraft

* Chucky has an innate talent to mimic and masquerade as an innocuous toy, complete with Good Guys's signature AI voice. He also apparently seems able to intuitively read Kryptonian and other alien languages due to his mind merging with dormant AI algorithms in his doll body's software.
* For someone of his stature, Chucky boasts a physical prowess akin to a grown adult. His capability to overpower and dispatch individuals much larger than himself is noteworthy. This is likely due to magical effects on his doll's developing physiology.
* The ease with which he wields a wide array of weapons suggests a certain familiarity, expertise even. He's not particularly good with firearms, however. Still, he does not seem to need them as his accuracy with a blade is impressive; from significant distances, he can strike with an uncanny precision.
* Chucky's intellect is not to be underestimated, despite his limited education. The intricacies of his traps, his adaptability in tight situations, and his cunning strategies all make for a ferocious foe. Another feather in his cap is knowledge of Voodoo.
* Death, as most know it, doesn't really seem to apply to Chucky. While it can be incapacitated, perhaps even destroyed for a time, there's always that lingering sense that he's just biding his time, waiting for the opportune moment or the right help to spring back to life.
* Chucky has shown the ability to transfer his soul into certain host bodies — namely persons that he has formed a significant bond with during their childhood. Though he has not yet successfully possessed any organic being completely, Chucky can easily move his soul to any other Good Guy doll using a simple Voodoo ritual.
* Chucky has also demonstrated the use of voodoo magic to fragment his soul to inhabit several host Good Guy dolls (or persons), though not without its share of drawbacks. This soul-splitting magic fragments his spirit into individualized entities that may conflict with one another, jeopardizing his grand schemes. This may allow the suppressed soul of a host body to assert temporary control or oust Chucky's presence entirely.
* Chucky and his wife Tiffany appear to have the aid of an unknown support network that is purchasing or otherwise acquiring Good Guy and Wedding Belle dolls to get them off the market to store them in an unknown location(s), likely as a life insurance policy. This requires substantial resources as a genuine first edition Kord Omniversal Good Guy doll in good condition can sell upwards of $1500 each.

### Drawbacks

* The longer Chucky's soul remains in a doll, the more human he becomes. This includes developing a circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems. He can even form a reproductive system. With these, Chucky becomes more vulnerable to damage.
* Due to his unholy nature, Chucky may be affected by relics and rituals of faith. Holy water can affect him and exorcism can banish his spirit from hosts.
* Chucky's past transgressions have inevitably garnered him numerous enemies. Chief among these are survivors of past murder attempts, who Chucky seems to underestimate. This speaks to Chucky's hubris. It's possible these will be his undoing as word is Andy and Kyle are also collecting and destroying Good Guy dolls.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

* Among the people who survived encounters with him are Andrew "Andy" Barclay, Kylie "Kyle" Simpson, and Nica Pierce.
* Among his victims are Maggie Peterson, Phil and Joanne Simpson, Harold Whitehurst, Brett Shelton, Melvin Cochrane, Elizabeth Kettlewell and Grace Poole. The deaths of all these people are blamed on Andy Barclay.
* After he began killing as the doll, the manufacturer of the doll tried to keep the lid on the murders. Despite Kord Omniversal's efforts word spread, and an urban legend was born. The Good Guys dolls' sales skyrocketed as macabre collectors were eager to get their hands on the dolls now considered creepy and associated with several brutal murders. When Ted Kord took the reins of Kord Omniversal in spring of 2006, one of his first decisions was to shut down the Good Guys franchise and cease manufacture of the merchandise.
* In Star City he was responsible for some high-profile cases.
* Chucky and several of his duplicates were involved in a massacre in Harrogate Juvenile Psychiatric Hospital. Andy and Nica, who were imprisoned there, managed to escape.

#### Tiffany

* was eventually arrested but found unable to stand trial on the grounds of her failing mental health and her attorney's arguments that she had been a victim held against her will by the serial killer. After a stint in Arkham Asylum, Tiffany was out and living on her own in a trailer park.
* When she heard of the Good Guy murders, Tiffany recalled several Good Guy dolls in the photos she obtained of Charles' death. Tiffany knew her Charles still lived, and she was determined to reunite with him, prompting her to bribe a police officer to steal the doll from an evidence locker and kill him for his effort.
* However, after Tiffany went through the trouble of stitching the destroyed doll back together, performing some voodoo ritual to revive it, and even supplying her Chucky with a bound up victim to welcome him back; Chucky criticized Tiffany. This would lead to Tiffany imprisoning Chucky in her trailer home and tormenting him until the doll got loose and killed Tiffany, only to then trap her soul in the plastic confines of a Wedding Belle doll to give her a taste of what the last few years were like for him.
* This birthed a new chapter of mayhem with the pair of killer dolls, leading to them marrying and having a child together. Yet, as with all tumultuous relationships, they frequently found themselves at odds with each other — their love was the anchor that they kept them grounded and centered, but also the anchor that dragged them down into the depths of their own depravity.
