Villains: Madcap The Jester (Unknown)

Not much is known about this total psycho. The only part of his backstory that we get to know is that he was part of a government experiment to create super-soldiers. He lived the majority of his life in an underground laboratory, with scientists constantly giving him injections of a bootleg version of the super power serum, and training him to be the best at killing. During that time, his only happy memories were when the lab threw holiday parties, and his favorite holiday was Halloween. When he turned 30, he began to regress into a child-like mindset, throwing tantrums and acting like an immature sh*thead. Then that fateful day came, where he finally snapped. When the project was deemed a failure, he was supposed to be transported to a secure facility to be executed. Using his new power, a hyper sonic laugh, he escaped from his transport and sought revenge on those involved, smiling and laughing the entire time. Now he seems to enjoy the act of killing, and began working as a professional assassin. Equipped with a weaponized hover glider and a jester staff that shoots bullets out of its mouth like pez, he’s a rather efficient dealer of death.

Villains: Eternity (Ramsey Rossmo)

In an attempt to travel back in time to visit his dead wife, Dr. Ramsey Rossmo uses an experimental time machine to relive his happy years with her. Unfortunately, he winds up finding out that him traveling back in time is the reason why his wife died. While trying to adjust history to fix his mistake, his machine malfunctions and sends him back to the beginning of the universe, wherein he was frozen in stasis, just watching time pass him by. He couldn’t go forward to when he was born, nor back before he got caught in stasis. All he could do was watch time pass him by. He saw the birth of the first organism, the first fish to crawl onto dry land, the first homosapien walk on two legs, the first decipherable language spoken, the first war, the first civilization, and everything that led up to where everyone was in the future. During his time in stasis, he realized that there was no god, and he came to the conclusion that every religious war was completely pointless. He finally fell out of stasis when he caught up to his time period, that being 2179. After coming out of stasis, he claimed to be a time god, and that he was here to prove that all of our petty squabbling over religious beliefs were all for nothing. He then gained a massive amount of followers, and they proceeded to lay siege to all of Harking City’s religious institutes, burning down every church and religious gathering. After they massacred an entire hate church full of Neo-Nazis, his “Religion of Eternity” gained a massive cult following. They even beheaded the Archdeacon of the Christian Church, and hung all of the priests from the roof. They were eventually stopped by Bonfire, who was an Atheist, too. 

Villains: Puppeteer (Unknown)

Born in the slums of the Old Town district of Harking City, the boy who would become The Puppeteer was the son of a toymaker who tried to bring as much joy to the poor children as possible. However, after his father was killed by loan sharks, the boy was moved from foster home to foster home, like a little toy that nobody wanted. After running away from a foster home at the age of 12, he ran back to his father's abandoned toy store and tried to relive his lost childhood. 20 years later, children started going missing from their homes and turning up dead on their parents' doorstep. The one thing linking all of them was their faces were sliced up to resemble puppets, and with a the phrase "Naughty Boy/Girl" carved into their chests. After a combined investigation by Black Streak and Carla Simmons, they discovered the place where the children were being taken: the abandoned toy store on Maple St. It turns out that the boy had some how attained superpowers, and had been kidnapping children and forcing them to play with him in his bedroom. If any of them refused, well you know what happened next. The superpower he'd gained was the ability to shoot strings out of his fingers that would attach themselves to the intended person. Once attached, he could wiggle around his fingers and control them like a puppet; hence the name "Puppeteer". Once he was captured by Black Streak and Carla Simmons, he was committed to the Belbridge Insane Asylum, and was nearly tortured to death by Dr. Franz Leiberman. He was unfortunately spared, and was later broken out and joined King Ace's gang.

Villains: Bulletstorm (Richard Cardinez)

Richard was raised by a backwoods family in New Mexico, and was taught how to use a gun at the age of 7. By the time he was 15, he was skilled enough to shoot flies out of the air with perfect precision. Unfortunately, the only thing he was good at was killing, and he began to develop a bloodlust. Because of this, Richard grew into a highly volatile and impulsive person. During his time in high school, Richard’s abusive brother Hector was killed during a night out with friends, and it is heavily suspected (though never proven) that Richard was the one responsible. After growing into adulthood, Richard moved away from his home town and decided to pursue a career outside of his family. Not much is known about what happened after he left, but 10 years later, Richard resurfaced as a bounty hunter & assassin. Unlike other assassins, Richard uses older firearms from before the 22nd century, due to the fact that it’s what he was raised with. Despite his old-fashioned methods, he’s skilled enough to shoot Black Streak in the leg at his top speed, which is faster than light.

Villains: Mr. Fuse (Arthur Ryan III)

Arthur is the son of one of the United Kingdom’s greatest army Colonels, and was trained from childhood to be a soldier. During his childhood, his father constantly told him to suppress his emotions, as they’ll get you killed on the battlefield according to him. In college he graduated with flying colors in the field of chemistry, as well as literature and biology. While he was in the military, Arthur used his extensive expertise to become his platoon’s resident explosives expert. During their time in the war, his platoon was given the experimental version of the super power serum, and they were able to win numerous battles in the coming months. Unfortunately, all good things often come to an abrupt and miserable end, especially in the army. While trying to save African refugees from a group of terrorists, Arthur’s entire platoon was slaughtered when it was revealed that the terrorists had gotten their hands on the bootleg version of the super serum developed by Grayson Industries. Arthur was the only member who survived and was naturally traumatized and broken by this. His confusion turned into rage, as later that night, he injected himself with the super serum and got the ability to turn anything he touches into a bomb, which can be activated by pressing his thumb down like a detonator. He then went and slaughtered every single one of the terrorists, and burned their entire headquarters to the ground, accidentally killing all of the refugees in the process. Knowing his time in the military ruined his life, he went back home to England and destroyed his military boarding school, his family manor, and then tracked down his father and turned him into a bomb, using him to blow up the memorial to his platoon during his father’s eulogy. He then sold his skills as a professional arsonist and mercenary, and became good friends with a master sharpshooting assassin named Bulletstorm.

Villains: WiFi (Varian Montoya)

Varian Montoya was a child prodigy who grew up in poverty in the Dominican Republic. He had a passion for computers, and was extremely gifted at hacking. He also had an amazing understanding of human behavior, knowing that information is the true power in this world. He used this to get him and his family out of poverty and into the upper crest of society. It wasn’t merely a passion he had for hacking. It was an addiction. He was so good, he hacked everything from politicians, to corporations, and even governments, moving from country to country, and changing his identity along the way. He felt as though he were invincible, that no one could stop him. Until the fateful day when someone noticed him: The Illusionist. He visited him in his penthouse, and persuaded him into working for him, promising him the world, and access to all of the information he needs, but he would need some changes to adapt to the road ahead. When your hardware is obsolete, it’s time to upgrade. By the time all of the surgery, injections, and amputation of limbs was done, Varian was gone, and Wifi was born. Now the internet is his home, and he’ll find out who really runs the world, their weaknesses, and how to exploit them, and when he does, he’ll be the one pulling the strings. After all, in a land of locked doors, the one with the key is king, and honey you should see him in a crown.

Heroes: Riptide (Marina Kelly)

Marina was a marine biologist who operated out of the Bahamas, recording the habits of sea flora and fauna for scientific study. She has a huge love of the sea, often spending the majority of her time free-diving in the bay and interacting with the underwater creatures she loved so much. She even has a pet dolphin she named "Svo", an abbreviation of "svobodného ducha", which means Free Spirit in Czech. During a scuba diving tour she was leading, a ship containing a bootleg version of the Super Serum hit a rock, tearing a hole in it's side and causing the serum to spill out into the surrounding waters. The tour group and everyone else in the bay was violently mutated by the serum, causing them all to develop superpowers and drown. She was the only one to survive, as she developed the ability to turn her entire body into a being composed entirely of water. Horrified by what she'd become, she swam back to her lab and locked herself inside of her huge office aquarium. Shen then spent the next 2 weeks locked in her office, trying to figure out how to control her new abilities.  During her time, she learned that her entire body is essentially malleable, and that she can bend her body any way she pleases. She also had the ability to control water, breathe underwater, turn essentially intangible, shape-shift into other people, and morph her entire body into a puddle, allowing her the ability to slip through crevasses. After finally getting control over her abilities, she left her office and stepped back out into the world. On her first day out, she headed back to her favorite beach, just in time to see a yacht crash into the pier and start to sink. She quickly leapt into action and saved everyone on the boat. Everyone was in awe of the "Aqua-Lady", as they called her. She was reported in the paper, with some people claiming that she was a "Goddess Of The Sea". While certainly not seeing herself as a "Goddess", she was inspired by superheroes like Bonfire and Ryuko to become her own hero. She then fashioned her own costume out of a wetsuit she owned, and made her official debut to the public a week later. While finally meeting up with friends at the Marathon Mall, the place was accosted by a team of robbers who were trying to rob the jewelry store. Seeing a golden opportunity, she leapt into action and stopped the robbers. She then introduced herself to the public as "Riptide". A year later, P.E.A.C.E. caught wind of a new superhero operating out of the Bahamas, and they sent Ultra-Violet and Black Streak to investigate and offer her a spot on the team. They happened to do it at the exact same time Hazmax & Toxzita moved their operation to the Bahamas, who were planning on infecting the water with a toxin that would turn anyone who ingested it into a toxic mutant. The three heroes then teamed up and combined their abilities to stop them and cure all of the citizens of Nassau. After this, she accepted their offer, and joined the team as their resident environmentalist hero. She now spends her time helping out along the coastline between the USA & the Bahamas, stopping smuggling operations, helping out during shipwrecks and oceanic archeology assignments. 

Villains: Zap (Jennifer Watts)

Jennifer was a rebellious child prodigy from Portugal. She was an extremely creative person who eventually became one of the smartest lab techs at Grayson Industries, a rival company to the Carlyle Corporation. She was eventually recruited to do some corporate espionage in order for the company to find out the latest thing the Carlyle Corporation was making, so Grayson Industries could find out ahead of time and produce a knock off first. While undercover, she found the super serum and managed to bring the recipe to her superiors, and they quickly manufactured a knock off version of it to sell to their proprietors on the Black Market. During that time, she also manufactured a special battery that can be attached to the human body and produce an unlimited amount of energy by absorbing the electrons in the atmosphere. One night, police raided the lab after it was found out that Grayson Industries had performed corporate espionage, and Jennifer tried to escape with some samples of the new super serum and the prototype for her battery. She escaped out the backdoor of the lab and into a city in the middle of a lighting storm. While she was running to her car, lightning struck her battery, which she’d been wearing in order to carry it. She was then fused with the battery, as well as the chemicals she’d been carrying on her. The shock of electricity combined with the chemicals drove her completely insane, and she wound up developing a split personality, that being Jennifer and Zap. She is now a person of two minds, whereas Jennifer wants to help expand the world of science using research and patience, Zap uses brute force and murder to achieve her goals, no matter what it takes. She woke up in the hospital a day later, and wound up shorting out the electrical system with a mere touch. She then escaped, finding out that the battery combined with the serum had given her the ability to manipulate electro-magnetism, as well as use that electricity to supercharge her muscles, allowing her to run superhumanly fast. She later plunged the city into chaos by causing a blackout when she absorbed all of the power from the power plant. This led to many inmates from prisons and asylums escaping, as well as Jonathan Lincoln.

Villains: Prime King (Hartley Harrison)

Hartley was always fascinated by the media. He’s an attention seeking whore who’ll do anything to be noticed by anybody. Unfortunately, he was the kind of person that no one ever noticed, and if anyone ever did, it was for the wrong reasons. He was also ostracized from his peers do to his homosexuality, and after his mother found out, she started treating him as though he never existed. In a desperate grasp for attention, he started his own Youtube channel, wherein he would do the most insane things that his followers would vote on. He would even try auditioning for roles on Theatre Plays and TV shows, thinking that his flamboyant and theatrical personality would be perfect for the performing arts. One day while he was in his late 20s, he was handed a golden opportunity when he came across Conan O’Brien III at a coffee shop, and the two managed to hit it off, with Conan thinking that Hartley was perfect for TV. He gave him a phone number to one of the head executives of a big time TV network, and Hartley jumped at the chance almost immediately. After many hours of (ahem) “patty cake”, Hartley finally had his own show, and he was one entertaining host. Unfortunately, he was so desperate to keep his fame that he would often come through on insane favors for the executives, many involving (ahem) “patty cake”. Unfortunately, Hartley’s popularity started to fade, and he began doing more riskay things during his broadcast time. When the show was on its last legs, Hartley did an interview with Spencer Desantos (Ultra-Violet’s father), who was going through a particularly bad scandal (he allegedly had an affair with one of the actresses on a movie he was directing), and Hartley was so desperate for ratings that he began to ask Spencer some very personal questions, and began to outright accuse him of being an abusive husband and father. When Spencer threatened to sue him for the accusations, Hartley lept over his desk and beat the shit out of him, losing both his show and dignity in the process. He was later disowned by his family when pictures of him having sex with the Network Executives began circulating around the news. Having lost everything, Hartley finally snapped. Realizing that people really get entertainment out of suffering, humiliation, and crime, Hartley decided to rebrand himself. He resurfaced 5 months later with a new look and show, and his debut episode was him and his gang robbing the 1st National Bank while having a film crew broadcast it. Now calling himself the Prime King, Hartley made himself known to the public as one of the most unique villains the world has ever seen. When he was inevitably caught, the network actually paid his bail money, because his new show was just getting too many ratings. 

Villains: Illusionist (Unknown)

Not much is known about this mysterious enigma, not where he comes from, or how he got his powers. The only thing everyone knows is his motivation and how powerful he is. He’s a man who claims to have seen where humanity is going and how everything is going to end, and he doesn’t like it. He seeks to use his mind manipulation powers to take control of the world and move humanity in a direction that avoids armageddon in his eyes. Despite his seemingly well meaning intentions, Illusionist isn’t above torturing his enemies both mentally and physically, and even seems to take a sadistic pleasure in it. He also doesn’t kill unless it’s necessary, but when he says that, he means he doesn’t kill with his own hands. He instead usually kills people by hypnotising people into commiting suicide when he either no longer needs them, or if they simply piss him off.

Villains: King Ace (Adrien Halbert)

Adrian is the son of a family of wealthy British nobles who was the black sheep of his bloodline. His family utterly despised him for his love of literature and music, often abusing him for his intelligence. Eventually, the abuse led to Adrian becoming a sadistic psychopath and murdering his family in return. After that, he left the manor and started an anarchic biker gang, one that spread chaos and death wherever they went. Adrian isn’t doing this for money or any physical reward, for the most part. He’s doing it simply because he loves to do wrong, and sees an artistic light to it. The man’s a sadist, plain and simple, but what’s so unsettling is how much he enjoys what he does. The smile on his face is pure delight, he is in heaven. To him, causing chaos and misery is like reaching Nirvana on a roller coaster, and he loves every second of it. He speaks very fluently, using a mixture of high society and street vernacular. He’s obviously the most intelligent out of his group, and often conducts his crimes as if they were a symphony, and every person and object were his instruments. He sees himself as something of a performer, or an artist.

Villains: Hazmax & Toxzita (Neil & Rita Stark)

One of the world’s leading experts on chemical experimentation, Professor Neil Stark used to work for the Carlyle Corporation as one of the leading scientists who developed the serum that gives people superpowers. His next project was very ambitious, as he and his wife/lab assistant were trying to develop a serum that could immunize humanity to all diseases. During his experiments, he began to run short of funds, and decided to outsource money from local gangsters, and in return they would be the first to get the serum, as their leader was dying from a terminal illness. His research began to take longer than expected, and the gangsters decided to come to the lab and “motivate” him to work faster, by threatening to maim his wife. In the scuffle, Neil stole one of the goons’ guns, and attempted to protect his wife, but the gangsters retaliated by pouring a beaker full of his serum down his throat before it had been finished. Because of this, Neil experienced the worst pain of his life, as he was violently mutated by his own creation. His skin turned apple green, his hair began to give off a green mist, and his blood turned toxic and acidic, as demonstrated when he threw up on the ground during his transformation and melted a hole in the floor. In order to survive, he crawled inside one of his containment pods. The chemicals also negatively affected his mind, causing him to fall into hallucinations for a few days. While his wife was attempting to reverse engineer a cure, Neil would sit in his containment pod, stewing over what happened to him and how to get revenge. Once his wife had engineered a containment suit for him, he broke out of the lab and went on a killing spree, slaughtering anyone who was in the gang that ruined his life. After he was arrested, his wife injected herself with a perfected version of the serum and broke him out of his prison transport. The two thus become the newest criminal couple in Harking City, Hazmax & Toxzita.

Villains: Prankster (Jonathan Lincoln)

Jonathan was born into a wealthy family that owned a very successful toy company. Despite his parents loving children, they were rarely ever around to give their son any attention. Starved for attention, Jonathan started to pull large scale pranks at his school. He didn’t do stupid whoopee cushions, though. He instead took all of the books in the library and hung them from the ceiling, and put dissected frogs into the gelatin salad at the parent-teacher banquet. During his time as the school clown, Jonathan slowly began to grow mentally unstable, as he constantly tried to get bigger and better with his “performance art”. When the day came for the school’s science fair, Jonathan snuck into the school the night before and tampered with the student’s inventions. Everything went according to plan, until it came to the unlimited energy device created by the school’s prodigy student. He didn’t completely understand what he was tampering with, and he accidentally caused it to explode when it was being demonstrated, killing 20 people and setting fire to the auditorium. He was then sent to a mental institution and was promptly disowned by his parents. While in the institution, Jonathan fell into a catatonic state because he was so bored. During a blackout two years later, Jonathan broke out of the asylum thanks to the power outage, and the first thing he did was return home and burn his family’s house down while leaving his parents tied up in the basement. He then went to their toy factory and stole a massive amount of their toys, reverse-engineering them into deadly weapons. Having been inspired by seeing superheroes and supervillains in the outside world, he decided to become a member of this new wave of villains. Directly after the blackout crisis was solved, Prankster made himself known to the citizens of Harking City by embarking on a spree of comedic crime. He robbed a bank and replaced all of the money with Monopoly money, hurled a 50 ft gumball at a candy factory, and switched around all of the street signs. Having shown off his cunning nature, he was approached by Illusionist and asked to join his supervillain team W.A.R, which he gladly accepted.

Heroes: Joker (Anthony Lincoln)

Anthony is the younger brother of Jonathan Lincoln, a.k.a. The Prankster. Whereas his brother is a sadistic troll who gets joy from humiliating people, Anthony is a crazy Butt-Monkey, someone who makes himself the butt of the joke. Either way, they’re both comedians who seek to feed themselves on the spice of life; humor. Anthony is more book smart than his brother, as well as a lot more mentally put together, though not by much. The day Jonathan caused an explosion at the school’s Science Fair, Anthony was one of the students who survived the explosion, unfortunately at the expense of his left arm. While his brother was in the Belbridge Mental Institution, Anthony was dealing with PTSD, physical therapy, as well as survivor’s guilt, since he blamed himself for not confronting his brother about his psychotic behavior before it was too late. He was later enrolled into an upstate college, where he took up residence on the campus, and became an alcoholic to cope with his trauma. After his brother broke out of the asylum, killed their parents, and went on his reign of comical terror, Anthony felt it was his responsibility to protect everyone from his psychotic brother, as well as prevent his brother from destroying himself. He began to train himself in combat, engineering, and overcoming his trauma, rather than suppressing it. He later made himself known to Harking City by showing up to save Bonfire, Ryuko, P1X1, and Black Streak from Prankster’s latest death trap, and was granted membership into P.E.A.C.E., as well as becoming the team’s therapist.

Heroes: P.1.X.1 (Prototype 1 Xcablibur 1)

P1X1 was created as the assistant of Jackson Carlyle, being built as his helper and bodyguard. One night during the Carlyle Corporation Expo, Prankster attacked the Expo hall and attempted to assassinate Jackson when he was in his human form. Before he could do it, Prankster was attacked by P1X1, who fiercely fought him, and was nearly destroyed by one of Prankster’s laughing bombs. Seeing potential in her, Jackson rebuilt her with an upgraded Artificial Intelligence capable of feeling emotions, as well as a stronger body capable of flight, teleportation, laser blasts, and various other abilities. She then joined him in his crusade against crime. Their relationship was so much more than a partnership. Thanks to his reprogramming of her AI, she was able to feel emotions such as love. These feelings eventually became so great, she eventually proposed to him and the two were married in mere months. Unfortunately, the relationship would end tragically after P1X1 sacrificed herself in order to save Harking City from Prankster’s tyrannical rule. He managed to overload the powercore of Carlyle Tower, the headquarters of P.E.A.C.E., and threatened to blow up the city if the heroes didn’t back off, and she made the ultimate sacrifice by using her teleportation power to move the tower out of the city.

Heroes: Black Streak (Louis Ryder)

Louis was born in the intercity of Harking City to a poor family. His father worked at a chemical company that was owned by Carlyle Industries, and was almost always absent, working constant night shifts to bring the bread for his family. In order to blow off steam, Louis enjoyed partaking in parkour around his neighborhood. One night while on a run, Louis made his way to his father’s factory to watch him work from the roof’s glass window. While watching his father, a security guard surprised him, causing Louis to fall through the window and into one of the vats full of the super serum. He was immediately rescued and sent to the factory’s infirmary. While resting off his injuries, he began to have extremely fast spasms in his bed. At one point, his heart monitor seemed to just short out. When he finally woke up, he accidentally destroyed the entire room when he touched the ground, with everyone saying they saw only a blur run around the room. He then allowed the scientists of the Carlyle Corporation to experiment on him to find a cure for his troubles. He was eventually given a collar that allowed him to regulate his speed, as the serum gave him the power of super speed, with the downside being that if his legs stood firmly on the ground, they couldn’t stop moving. He then decided to be the protector of his neighborhood, using his super speed to help anyone in need. Unfortunately, he would accidentally start a gang war in his home neighborhood after sending the leader of the gang to prison for injuring his girlfriend. For all of the destruction he caused, he was exiled from his neighborhood and wound up living in Carlyle Tower, the home base of P.E.A.C.E. He and his girlfriend would end up getting married and having a daughter they named Jessica, who you’ll find out about soon.

Heroes: Bonfire (Jackson Carlyle)

Jackson was born into one of the richest families in Harking City. His parents owned one of the biggest companies in the world, and made much of their money from building technologically advanced weapons for the government. Jackson himself was a child prodigy with a huge ego, and often went out partying around town, getting plastered and crashing cars. When he was in his mid 20s, he was invited to his father’s weapons laboratory, where his father and his team of scientists was developing a serum that when injected, gives a person superpowers based on their genetic makeup. During his tour, a group of mercenaries broke into the lab to steal the serum and use it to go on a crime spree. During the scuffle at the lab, Jackson used some of the serum on himself and got the power of fire. He took down the robbers and attempted to help his father after he was injured by the robbers, and wound up accidentally burning his father’s arm. He then allowed his mother and father to experiment on him so he could morph back into his human form. Eventually, they engineered a special chest piece that allows him the shift between being a human and a man made of fire. His parents’ company then marketed him to the public as the world’s first superhero.

Who can guess where I got this badass cane and how much it cost?

"There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus Vellocet or Synthemesc or Drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."" - Alex Delarge

Tyrian Callows Redesign

Although I do like Tyrian’s outfit, I don’t love it. It’s a bit too overly compliated with the excess straps and belts, and the bandages seem a tad unnecessary. It’s also odd that Tyrian’s name is a shade of purple, and the only purple we ever on him is his eyes and semblance. I decided to add more purple to Tyrian’s costume, giving him a tailed sleeveless jacket, purple shadowing around his eyes, as well as more scars around his chest and face. In my version, Tyrian got a nasty scar on the right side of his face during a battle with the Atlas Military, and now looks like he has a permanent smirk on his face. I also got rid of the bandages on his arms, as Tyrian doesn’t seem like the kind of person who’d cover up his scars. Was this a good idea, or is this new design a bit too much?

"When is a murderer not a murderer? When you look the other way. When is a hero not a hero? When they take off their mask."

"I spend a lot of time thinking. Asking myself questions. Lately I've been thinking about innocence. I have a certain past. One of harm and criminal misdeeds. I've been trying to make sense of what I've done, and who I am. Am I not more than my suit? My moniker? My deeds? What's in a name, Gotham? Some of us lead double lives. Some of us are true. But I'm realizing, it's about truth. Who we think we are, and what happens when the lie of that is revealed. My viewers, if life is but a stage, are the roles assigned? When is a murderer not a murderer? When is a hero not a hero?"

"HELLO CITIZENS! We're friends, right? And friends speak plainly, no? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Really, Gotham is a city of proposed saints, doing their best to aim through their glass houses. We all like to pretend our lovely glass houses are clean. But if you knew the inspector was on his way, what would you do to keep him out?"

"It appears violence is baked into the fabric of our very lives these days. Don't fret, my little chickens. All things must come to an end, dear Gotham. And over time, answers give way to new mysteries. And when original lessons are forgotten, all we have are the questions we started with. We're back to the beginning: When is a murderer not a murderer?"

"GOOOOOOD Evening, Gotham City. It's the Witching Hour, and that means all of the creepy crawlers are out. Spiders and Spirits and Bats, Oh My! But will the real menace of Gotham please stand up? CITIZEN CRIMINALS! What a concept. Well, Riddle Me This, Gotham! If justice is blindfolded, then who tied the knot? And who's got their finger on her lovely scales? Because when the scales fell from Saul's eyes, he saw clearly."
