Real Name
Edward Nigma

Abilities
- Genius-level deductive reasoning
- Vast esoteric knowledge

Biography
Edward Nigma grew up an overly curious child in the town of Waterbury, Connecticut. There, he annoyed his parents and other adults with his unending stream of queries. He soon decided to become the person with all of the answers, even if that meant forming the questions himself. The trigger for his obsession was further pulled when his teacher announces a class contest, which would reward the student who can solve a very complex puzzle the fastest. Setting his sights on winning, and craving the glory and satisfaction that will come with the victory, Nigma sneaks into the school one night, takes the puzzle out of the teacher's desk, and practices it until he is able to solve it in under a minute. As predicted, he wins the contest and is given a book about riddles as a prize. His cheating rewarded, Edward embraced the mastery of puzzles of all kinds and became fixated on similar thrills, which spurred him to lose interest in an ordinary job and similarily cheat by taking on the life of crime. As a result, he became one of the most brilliant criminal minds known as the Riddler, not only developed to steal riches and garner mass attention, but to prove his superiority over anyone around him.

Portrayed by
