The Rogue Files: You Want To Poison Me Huh
Ivy and Edward were playing chess, and they were both great at it which comes to no surprise this isn't their first time playing a game of strategy. Edward boxed her king in and grinned as he deliverd the final blow. "check mate" Ed proped his head on his hands and looked down at the board smirking at his victory. "Don't let this go to your head Ed". Edward didn't look up "don't get mad Ivy get even". Pam glared daggers, she realy wished he'd stop saying cryptic things it would be so much easier but then again Ed wasn't realy known for being a simple kind of guy. "What... the... fuck... do you mean", and Ed continue looking down "what I mean is, find somthing more fulfilling then your looks to be aregant about then will be even". Ivy was losing her patience with him and she could feel the anger bubling up inside her. " I want to poison you so badly" and Ed finally looked up from the board. "So you want to kiss me badly" . Ivy couldn't process what he just said she wanted to be angry, she wanted to strangle him but what he said was so damn confusing. "where did you get that from" Ed started chuckling at her words as if it was easy to see. "You said you wanted to Poison me and you poison people by...". She now knew exactly where he was going with this so she refused to finish his sentance but this didn't stop him from looking smug. "you kiss people" Ivy's face turned red and Eddy proped his feet up on the table and leaned back, he started laughing at her. Ivy ran off before he noticed that he was getting to her.
This idea kinda just came to me I realy don't know how. I would say drugs but I think you and I both know better then to think I make enough for a drug problem.
The Rogue Files: How Ivy Got Her Name part 1
Eddie and Ivy were sitting on the couch arguing which wasn't unusual, in fact it happened quite often. Ivy started screaming "The Riddler is nothing compared to Poison Ivy" and that's when Eddie lost it "you wouldn't even be Poison Ivy if it wasn't for me". It's true Eddie gave Pam the name Poison Ivy. It all started a while back when they both were starting out and first came to Arkham. Eddie already had his criminal name however but Pam didn't, and she ended up sitting next to Nygma during lunch while he was arguing with Aaron Cash. Eddie threw his lunch tray across the room and ended up hitting Bane in the back of the head. "AARON THIS FOOD IS UNEXCEPTBLE..., AND YOU WONDER WHY WE WANT TO ESCAPE SO BADLY". Aaron shook his head and started clapping his HANDS together. "I'M SORRY ED, I'll get right on that 5 star dining for the criminals" . Aaron walked away laughing while Eddie muttered "the only thing criminal around here is the food". Ivy sat next Edward reluctantly, she would later deny this but his little performance had scared her a little. Ed was solving sadoku puzzle and looked up slightly to see Ivy but looked back down at his puzzle, he didn't even acknowledge her. Ivy started to dig inside the food but upon the first bite she spit it back out. Ed leaned over, grabbed her tray and threw in the same direction that he had thrown his own, except this time he hit Killer Croc in the head. Pam at him angrily. Ed looked up at her and began to speak" why are you so angry you weren't going to eat it". Ivy looked at him puzzled. "It doesn't matter its the principle of the thing." Eddie turned his head up and began giggle miniclly, it started low and gargly before getting louder and clear."I like you", Pam couldn't help but blush a little as he smirked at her."What's your name?". He looked at her for a minute " Are you joking you don't know who I am, she shook her head. " I'm Edward Nygma, the Riddler, the clue leaving conundrum, the prince of puzzlers, king of cundrums. Ivy started to remember "oh now I remember gothams premeir Master mind" Ed started grinning "the one and only, now what is your name". Pamela Isley". "Oh your that plant lady who been killing people, so what's your villian name again". Pam eyes widened and she began to frown a little, "I don't have one" Eddie's smirk slowly turned into a frown and his eyes began to narrow. "What you need a name that strikes fear, that shows your power" he began to scream" you realy want people to run around screaming it's the Pam oh the Pam anything but the Pam". Ivy didn't like his tone but he had a point. "your right" Ed calmed down and fixed his hair "of coarse I'm right" she rolled her eyes "You don't want to bel like Mr V using your real name even Mr freeze at least changed the spelling". Victor v heard him "watch it Nygma I still have room for another tally". Ed leaned over and whisperd in her ear "he's just mad because Tally Man was already tacken" and victor grabbed the knife of his tray and scratch a tally onto his palm. Pam laughed he was kinda of funny, not stupid funny like the Joker but a Witty kind of funny. "Pam I have an idea" Eddy said slowly," what if I help you pick out a name it should have the in it thise names are popular right now the penguin, the Joker, and best of them all the Riddler". Ed's ego was tad much but his enthusiasm and charm made up for it. "ok "Pam said finally and Edward almost "simultaneously jumped onto the table top. Gather around everyone ate dear friend needs a new name". None of the guards seemed to pay him any mind even Cash. This went on for hours and one lunch was up theu continued there conversation in the rec room where Eddie stood on top of the table behind the couch. A man in the crowd of villians raised his hand. "I SWEAR TO GOD, DECKER IF YOU SUGGEST GREEN LADY AGAIN I'LL WILL BREAK ALL OF YOUR FINGERS OFF ONE BY ONE" and with this Crazy Quilt lowerd his hand. Pam noticed somthing, Eddie was genuinely frighteningly sadistic and quite terrifying, not that she was much better.

This Is On Going Research On Patient: ????
I edited some things sense it's my version of Riddler I added snd changed some things and they'll make sense later.
I made up the nicknames Clue Leaving Condrum. What do you think?
I made his eyes blue instead of green it just weird everything green and his eyes just happened to be green I thought the blue would be different and add a little contrast.
I'm going with red hair because let's face it that's the superb choice
The name was his mother's maiden name I though it be kinda cool. He resents the name Nashton because of his father and takes up his legendary last nameof Nygma, the last name of his LOVING mother. I tried make it more realistic.
Yes his mother is loving, I just threw man a bone ok.
I went for young smart ass Riddler.
He a some what normal weight and he's freakishly tall sounds like Eddie.
Selina and Eddie childhood friends I know it sounds weird but it's actually a sweet story.
Reminder, this is my version of the story.
I imagine if Riddler ever carried a gun it be a revolver because those things are fancy nice clean looking and match riddler completely.
I promise this series is more then Riddler, I just have a lot of Riddler ideas right now
The Rogue Files: Love In The Air
Harley was sitting next to Riddler at lunch, it was wensday, the day they usually had lunch and talked. Ed had his feet proped on the table (Ed was the only one who used a chair everyone else sat on a bench) and harley had her leg crossed. Joker walked by and kissed harley on the cheek, harley sighed and rested her head on her hand, "is that love in the air". Ed stared at for a few seconds "no that's not love that's fear gas harley". The Joker (who had been walking away) stopped and turned around slowly to reveal a bug face. Harley slapped her hands to her face and screamed while Edward sat calm, as if nothing was happening. Harley turned ro Eddie "why aren't you screamin" "because theres nothing scary to scream at". Harley stared toward Eddie no longer paying attention to the bug faced Joker who began to walk toward her. "You afraid of somthing right", Eddie looked down "No, I haven't been afraid in long time". Harley frowned a little "what do you mean". "What I mean is the last time I was scared, I was a kid". Harley wanted to ask more questions but she was interrupted when she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see the bug faced Joker.
I'm pretty sure someone did spmething similar because it came to me but it sounds realy familiar. I didn't know so I wrote it anyway do if it's similar to somthing else just let me know and I'll fix it.
Rogue Files is a series of shorts and some longer stories there is a plot to some extent but not realy.
In the Q&A they have a 3 by there names.
Oh Diddle, Diddle The Cat And The Riddle: Chapter 1
Edward has started a life as a PI Again, last time he changed because he got knocked on the noggin, this time it was a choice. He changed because he realized he had already proved he was better to himself and all that matter, and those that refused to see it didn't matter. His next goal was to prove he could be a good hero, however it's gonna be harder this time sense everyone is refusing to trust him of course with good reason sense last time he screwed them over. Edward could only afford a 2 strory building in crime alley, the top floor being an apartment and the bottom being an office. Eddie would spend the next 3 weeks exposing cheating spouses and tracking down lost dogs, and it was getting old he was a master at solving mysteries. He felt his talent was being wasted but he also knew his current predicament was all his own doing. One day however he would have the most unusual guest, batman.
Edward was sitting at his desk solving a cross word puzzle when the door to his office and his secretary (the former query AKA Diedre Vance) walked in with batman following.
Diedre: Mr. Nygma the Dark Knight is here to see you.
Eddie: I can see that
Diedre left the room and batman walked up to the desk.
Eddie: I didn't do it
Batman: you don't even know why I'm here.
Eddie: there's few reasons you'd come here and you being my biggest critic...
Batman: I'm here to pitch a purposel
Eddie: this outta be good
Batman: A partnership, a permanent partnership.
Eddie: I don't work with bats
Batman: not a bat but a cat
Eddie knew exactly who he was talking about jumped out of his chair
Eddie: I'm not working with Selina Kyle.
Batman: she reformed and I want to make sure she stays reformed
Eddie sat back down his seat
Eddie: how is working with me gonna keep her on the straight and narrow?
Batman: she steals for the thrill and for the money, knowing you and this city your cases can get pretty crazy and she'll get payed.
Eddie: how is she going to be useful?
Batman: here stealth and stealing skills could be useful to pi, plus her fighting skills andas I recall you have great respect for her and didn't you say she was clever once.
Eddie: That's all well and good but if you haven't noticed people don't hire me because they don't trust me adding another criminal to the ranks isn't going to help the situation
Batman: what if I endorse you in the papers.
Eddie: you endorse people now wouldn't that ruin your rep.
Batman: ...
Eddie: you must realy care about this girl to ask for help to do everything that you said you'd never do, some might say you love her.
Batman: I love her but I can't have her
Eddie: didn't she change her ways for you, if she learns this she'll go back to stealing
Batman: that's why I'm not going to tell her
Eddie: ok so now your asking me to lie great, ok if I'm going to lie im going to have to know why you can't have her. It's obvious you care so what's the problem.
Batman: it wouldn't work everyone I love gets pushed away
Eddie: you could go to therapy look it did wonders for me, maybe you'll become sane and stop wearing a bat costume.
Batman glared at him
Eddy: to much to hope for?
Batman: we have a deal
Batman sounded a little irritated
Eddie: if you can get Selina on board sure but just to let you know me and Selina a don't work good together were gonna end up killing each other.
Batman smiles
Batman: then it'll be a good bonding experience.
Eddie: first off fat chance second did you just smile?
Batman: No
Eddie jumped out of his chair and pointed at Batman
Eddie: you did the bat smiled I didn't know you could but you did, you smiled
Batman: no
Eddie: yes
Batman started walking toward the door
Eddie: well I can cross that off my bucket list
See the batman smile oh what a rare sight.
Batman: your delusional
Eddie: it takes one to know one
Batman shook his head as he walked out the door
I like to think what if Ridder and Boomerang got married what would their wedding theme be like and their wedding attire
AAAA SUCH A CUTE ASK!! :DD
So I feel like it would be a very small, underground event (for obvious reasons) but Eddie would still spend MONTHS planning each little detail while Boomer would just be happy to be involved LMAO Question-mark-and-boomerang themed, ofc, and I feel like the ring boy/flower girl would be riddlebots
Eddie, being his wonderfully eccentric self, would have like a custom tailored, perfectly stitched, goofy ass suit made while I can't picture Boomer in anything other than one of those fake suit t-shirts HAHAHA <333
Actually carrying the Riddlerang nation ON YOUR BACK šŖšÆšš
IT AIN'T MUCH BUT IT'S HONEST WORK <333
you should draw riddler and boomerang smooching, and or watching a horror movie and one of them is terrified and clinging to the other one, idk who would be who so Iām letting you decide:33
Oh Eddie spends too much time criticizing the impossible traps and stupid actions of the characters to get scared, but Boomer...
And some smooches :))
Hear me out....
Redraw of this panel from Robin (1993) #64
(I'm sorry if this sounds too demanding, it's only supposed to be a suggestion)
I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A CROSSOVER COMIC WITH THEM??? HELLO?? THEY'RE SO SILLY??? šš
Hi! I love Riddlerang, and your art is so cute! And I have this feeling, Riddler would be so sooo annoyed by Boomers speech mannerisms that he would correct him all the time to the point when it gets silly. Poor Harl having to listen to this via commlines. XD
HELLO!! :D YOU'RE SOOO RIGHT HEHEHE I WOULDN'T WISH RIDDLER BASICALLY HACKING INTO YOUR BRAIN ON MY WORST ENEMY, HE CAN AND WILL CORRECT YOU ON EVERYTHING. ESPECIALLY TO BOOMER <333
A riddlerang truther!!! OMG!!!
YES HEHEH >:D I've been playing suicide squad nonstop since it came out and UGH. I'm maining Boomer and of course going after all the riddler trophies, and I just think their dialogues/dynamic is so cute!! Eddie NEEDS someone dumb as rocks to mansplain everything to and Boomer's just happy to have someone's attention LMAO <333 (Plus I love both of them dearly so ofc they need to smooch <3)
