Riddler

Riddler

Riddler is an enemy to Batman as well as a DC Comics supervillain. His real name his Edward Nigma (sometimes spelled as 'Nygma')/Nashton and dons a green question mark covered costume, most often a suit, and he usually wields a question mark-shaped staff. He is obsessed with riddles, puzzles and word games. He often leaves behind clues during his crimes for Batman to solve which will help him locate Riddler. One of Riddler's goals is also to show Batman that he is more intelligent and self-titles himself as Batman's intellectual superior.

As a child, he was abused by his parents. After getting high scores on some important tests in School, Edward's father accused him of cheating and beated him. As Edward grew older, he opened a crooked carnival booth involving a diobolical puzzle. The costumers would compete to solve the puzzle for the prize money, but if they failed, they would pay Edward a small fee for competing. Nashton rigged the puzzle in advance to ensure that every customer would fail. Unsatisfied with the small pickings of the puzzle booth, he closed the carnival attraction and announced to himself that he was intelligent enough to use his wits for crime and baffle the upholders of the law.
