The Joker

Profile

 * Age: Middle-aged
 * Height: 6'1"
 * Weight: 160 pounds
 * Background: The Joker's past is meant to be mysterious and ambiguous, however the accepted general gist of his backstory is that he was a Gothamite that fell into a vat of chemicals during an Ace Chemicals robbery busted by Batman. His skin was freakishly dyed and he was driven insane, becoming Batman's arch-enemy and Gotham's biggest terrorist. He was usually either a struggling comedian down on his luck, or a ruthless mob hitman, either under the identity of Jack Napier or the Red Hood. He's done the absolute worst things to Batman, like cripple Barbara Gordon, beat Jason Todd to death, torture Tim Drake into insanity, almost torture Commissioner Gordon into insanity, and kill Gordon's wife.

Physical Feats

 * Strength: He can break necks with his bare hands. He's also very used to getting beaten half to death by Batman on a monthly basis (as a matter of fact, as a sadomasochist, pain fuels him), and is immune to most chemical warfare.
 * Speed: Deceptively and freakishly agile, like a rabid dog.
 * Skills: Though his past is "multiple-choice", it's generally accepted that he was either a ruthless hitman or a trained soldier in his early life, as he has an extremely thorough knowledge on military tactics and weaponry.
 * Intelligence: His ruthless cunning has his intelligence rival that of Batman's.
 * Experience: He's been the Clown Prince of Crime for years, and is the most feared name in Gotham for a very good reason, once singlehandedly overthrowing Black Mask's mafia.

Weapons

 * Ace of Spades: The Joker comes armed with an assortment of handguns that seem like gags at first, but are actually very deadly. Sometimes it's a cartoonishly large revolver, other times it's a very deadly harpoon gun disguised as a fake "Bang!" toy pistol.
 * Crowbar: The Joker's favorite weapon is a simple crowbar, as a mocking reminder to Batman that he used one to beat Jason Todd to death.
 * Joker Cards: A deck of playing cards sharp enough to slit throats.
 * Flower: A twisted play on the squirt water gag, instead shooting a horrific poisonous gas that slowly and painfully kills the victim. It can also shoot flesh-melting acid.
 * Joy Buzzer: A device that looks like a joy buzzer hidden in the Joker's glove but actually has the lethal voltage of an electric chair.
 * Explosive Chattering Teeth: Wind-up chattering teeth armed with C4.
 * Rabid Dogs: He has a pair of loyal but utterly vicious pet dogs/hyenas that he likes to sic on his enemies.

Equipments

 * X-Ray Specs: A pair of goofy specs that actually give him x-ray vision, as a counterpart to Batman's Detective Vision.
